#1 According to Globo, the boy first tested negative for the disease but later tested positive. He remains in the ICU.

Tested negative at the time of admission did he ?

#2 Eu viaje a Amozonia. The tribes cross paths with modern Brazilians frequently. Want to go to a pristine remote beach? take a boat that carries large number of people up the Amazon to the ocean and dissembarque, load up on a tractor pulled tractor that goes down a trail to a pristine remote beach. The tractor will from time to time go around a tribal native and his water buffalo that is pulling a wagon of items he just traded mangoes or many othrr of the amazing jungle fruits for at the boat landing. Brazilians trade with China who deliver ship loads of 'made in China' to Belem, etc to the very people who love remote beaches. And the hospital staff did not allow the virus to be transmitted at the hospital as Besoeker ignorantly insinuates. I know caretakers in medical fscilities on the Amazon who most have large families of their own and are consumate professional caretakers for theor patients and would not put their patients or families at risk when they return home each day.

#9 ^Both Lex. She grew up on the Amazon as the daughter of a high level Brazilian Military officer. Works out 1 hour a day every day, excellent business person, and she can do things physically that I have never seen any other woman do with her toes. You may use your imagination...

#12 first tested negative for the disease but later tested positive
So he was sick with something symptomatically similar and then caught Wuhan Flu in the hospital?

#13  first tested negative for the disease but later tested positive

Possibly the viral load had not grown enough to show up on the test.

#14 An Amazon Runs Through It:

"We lived at the junction of great pirana rivers in Roraima, Brazil. Where Indians still appeared out of the wilderness to walk the honky tonks and brothels of Frontera Street."
