Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro – already under fire for his cavalier reaction to the pandemic – has sparked further outrage by ignoring social distancing rules twice in the last 48 hours and being caught on camera shaking the hand of an elderly woman just seconds after wiping his nose with his wrist.
The nose-wipe handshake was caught on camera by one of Brazil’s major TV networks, Globo, and quickly went viral on social media.
Brazil’s president rejects COVID-19 as a ‘little flu’ so he ignores distancing rules and publicly attacks governors who introduce quarantine measures. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
