Brazil's president booed after he physically interacts with crowds of people

Images of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro hugging supporters and posing with people at a local bakery circulated online Thursday evening.

A video was shared by his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, and showed the Brazilian president with members of his cabinet interacting with a large group of people.

No one appeared to be wearing masks or any other protective gear. According to affiliate CNN Brasil, some people booed the president and banged pots from windows and balcony in protest.

Bolsonaro has dismissed the coronavirus in the past as a "little flu" and said he believes impact on Brazil's economy will be much worse. He has been pushing to lift self-isolation measures imposed by governors in several Brazilian states.
