So did Boris Johnson, who announced his positive test on March 27 in a Twitter video which showed him perfectly lucid and without noticeable symptoms [1]. He posted regular video updates, appearing quite healthy in all of them, but his condition suddenly worsened on April 6, a full 10 days after his initial announcement video [2].
This is anecdata, of course, but Bolsonaro is 65, a full 9 years older than Johnson, so he's by no means in the clear.

Boris Johnson is 9 years younger than Bolsonaro? He sure looks rough.

Boris Johnson gave speeches sounding relatively fine a couple days before winding up in the ICU. We'll see.

This is so sad. He will now go bragging how it is just a flu, as he said.
