Covid-19 Madness

You’re right! Either way, funny

Beat me to it. I was editing mine to add the same link when yours appeared.

It plays like they’re reading this and the politics thread and was made 43 years ago

It was. On its face. He was also picking on a woman. Again. If there were only women in the press room, I’d bet bigly on a total meltdown.

The circle of life is complete.:sunglasses:

Trump suggests injecting coronavirus patients with light or disinfectants to cure them

(WAPO 1630 today:)

After an administration official presented findings from a lab study that showed direct sunlight helps to kill the coronavirus, Trump had ideas.

“Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way,” Trump said to Bill Bryan, the undersecretary for science and technology at the Homeland Security Department during the evening White House briefing. He urged him to test it.

The president then mused that perhaps bleach or another disinfectant can also be injected into the body to kill the virus.

“Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets on the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs,” the president said.

He encouraged Bryan to test that theory too, but noted the government should involve medical doctors on that one.

Trump also reminded everyone that he had once suggested that heat would kill the virus.

“I just threw it out as a suggestion, but it seems like that’s the case, because when it’s on a surface, that would last for a long time. When that surface is outside, it goes very quickly. It dies very quickly with the sun,” Trump said.

Later, the president again mentioned that Bryan should test whether light and heat could be used to cure the coronavirus.

“If you could and maybe you can, maybe you can’t. Again, I say maybe you can. Maybe you can’t. I’m not a doctor. I’m like a person that has a good you know what,” Trump said, pointing to his head.

The USA Today link has a video of POTUS45 explaining his theories at minute 1:06.

I’m going to see if the company that used to make flashbulbs for those old-timey cameras still exists, and buy up stock!. Swallow a flashbulb and a couple of triple-A batteries, wash it down with a Mr. Clean chaser, and it’s goodbye COVID19!

That was weird wasn’t it? It’s as if he’s desperate to create a miracle solution he can call his own.

The bleach ‘cure’ has been a staple of internet theories for a while now. Or was it ammonia. Maybe it was mixing bleach and ammonia then huffing the cleansing vapors? I think that’ll work.

:dizzy_face:

I’m sure some idiot will step up and give it a try like the one who drank pool cleaner ‘cuz he said so’…I believe Charles Darwin covered these cases in his work.

The bleach cure isn’t new. Even the Sister-in-law of Governor Coumo bathes in diluted bleach.

There’s another thread for coronavirus screening.

I usually used Sylvania Blue Dot – pretty sure they’re still around.

NB – don’t plug one into an Argus C3 flash holder without cocking the shutter first, unless you want an enduring memory. At least not into the one we had.

Maybe regular use of sunbed is a useful cure?
His own experience may be where he gets the idea from??
(Proven by the fact that he hasn’t got Covid-19 yet)

Please do not ingest or inject disinfectant.

I feel like one should not have to say this. https://twitter.com/david_leavitt/status/1253459820608466947 …

It bears noting that with any other POTUS we would find this insane. These days, we call it “Thursday”.

I hope you all have clean underwear.

Define “idea”?

Most of the ideas come from quacks on TV. Some likely come from Putin.
