It's the kind of idea a kid might come up with - "if bleach kills the virus, it might help cure it!"
If my nephew or a student suggested it, I'd indulgently help them look up what is it in bleach which kills the coronavirus, and what it does to humans ... but the Prezz really shouldn't be suggesting that in earsight of his acolytes..
A leading disinfectant producer has issued a strong warning not to use its products on the human body after Donald Trump suggested they could potentially be used to treat coronavirus.
Reckitt Benckiser, which owns Lysol and Dettol, said "under no circumstance" should its products be injected or ingested.
President Trump faces a backlash over his comments at a briefing on Thursday.
Disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.
Even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.
Mr Trump's comments have been heavily criticised by doctors and have generated a huge online response. They have provoked hundreds of thousands of comments and caused well-known cleaning brands to trend on social media.
Reckitt Benckiser, which also owns the brands Vanish and Cillit Bang, said its products should not be administered "through injection ingestion or any other route".
"Our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information," the company said in a statement.

Coronavirus: Disinfectant firm warns after Trump comments
A leading disinfectant producer has issued a strong warning not to use its products on the human body after Donald Trump suggested they could potentially be used to treat coronavirus.
Reckitt Benckiser, which owns Lysol and Dettol, said "under no circumstance" should its products be injected or ingested.
President Trump faces a backlash over his comments at a briefing on Thursday.
Disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.
Even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.
Mr Trump's comments have been heavily criticised by doctors and have generated a huge online response. They have provoked hundreds of thousands of comments and caused well-known cleaning brands to trend on social media.
Reckitt Benckiser, which also owns the brands Vanish and Cillit Bang, said its products should not be administered "through injection, ingestion or any other route".
"Our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information," the company said in a statement.
What did President Trump say?
During Thursday's White House coronavirus task force briefing, an official presented the results of US government research that indicated coronavirus appeared to weaken faster when exposed to sunlight and heat.
The study also showed bleach could kill the virus in saliva or respiratory fluids within five minutes, and isopropyl alcohol could kill it even more quickly.
Mr Trump then hypothesised about the possibility of using a "tremendous ultraviolet" or "just very powerful light" on or even inside the body as a potential treatment.
"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute," he said. "And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?
"Because you see it gets in the lungs and does a tremendous number on them, so it'd be interesting to check that," he said.
In a statement, the White House press secretary said the president had "repeatedly" told Americans to consult doctors about coronavirus treatment.
"Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines," Kayleigh McEnany said.
His comments have dominated social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit since Thursday night.
Many compared his idea to a dangerous viral trend in 2018 where people ate Tide laundry detergent pods.
Lysol, which is one of the America's best known cleaning brands, has been named in tweets at least 125,000 times since the White House news conference.
Owners Reckitt Benckiser said they issued their statement on Friday "due to recent speculation and social media activity".
What's the medical reaction been?
Doctors warned that the president's suggestion could have fatal results.
"This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it's dangerous," Dr Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist and global health policy expert, told NBC news. "It's a common method that people utilise when they want to kill themselves.""Inhaling chlorine bleach would be absolutely the worst thing for the lungs," pulmonologist John Balmes told Bloomberg News. "The airway and lungs are not made to be exposed to even an aerosol of disinfectant.
"Not even a low dilution of bleach or isopropyl alcohol is safe. It's a totally ridiculous concept."
This is not the first time that Mr Trump's medical advice has generated controversy and criticism.
He has previously hyped a malaria medication, hydroxychloroquin, despite a lack of clinical evidence it helps treat Covid-19 and some concerns it can even be detrimental.

You really have to look at yourself if you are suggesting that a president suggesting injecting bleach as a cure for Corona is okay because he was 'musing.'
Firstly, it's insane for any grown person of sound mind to suggest such a thing, secondly it's beyond the pale to say such things as a world leader, especially one with such a following of dumbass cultists who would be injecting themselves with ****ing Toilet Duck as we speak.
There's no defense for this but his followers sure will try.

Admitting creating a thread purely to bait people, is next level galaxy brain stuff.

I think if you are so twisted to pretend to take what he said as fact because you hate him so much then the problem is at your front door and guess what, it ain't him.
I made this thread as a mirror and it reflects exactly what i intended it to..
:skull:
Yeah I agree, not surprised at what I've seen in here though tbh :fan:

Doesn't matter if he was joking, he has a responsibility to not be telling dangerous jokes. Either he wasn't joking and he's an idiot for thinking it was a good idea, or he WAS joking and he's an idiot for making that sort of joke with an audience of hundreds of millions of scared people. :shrug: take your pick.
A spike in New Yorkers ingesting household cleaners following Trump’s controversial coronavirus comments
An unusually high number of New Yorkers contacted city health authorities over fears that they had ingested bleach or other household cleaners in the 18 hours that followed President Trump’s bogus claim that injecting such products could cure coronavirus, the Daily News has learned.
The Poison Control Center, a subagency of the city’s Health Department, managed a total of 30 cases of possible exposure to disinfectants between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday, a spokesman said.
None of the people who reached out died or required hospitalization, the spokesman said.
But compared to last year, the number of cases was worthy of a double-take.
According to data obtained by The News, the Poison Control Center only handled 13 similar cases in the same 18-hour period last year.
Moreover, out of the cases reported between Thursday and Friday, nine were specifically about possible exposure to Lysol. Ten were in regards to bleach and 11 about household cleaners in general, the spokesman said.
In last year’s 18-hour period, there were no cases reported about Lysol exposure and only two were specifically in regards to bleach, the data shows.
During Thursday night’s coronavirus briefing at the White House, Trump suggested doctors may be able to cure coronavirus by injecting disinfectants like bleach directly into the lungs of their patients.
"Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs so it’d be interesting to check that … It sounds interesting to me,” Trump said, turning to his health advisers and asking them to look into the matter.
On Friday afternoon, following widespread pushback from medical experts, Trump claimed his dangerous suggestion was a joke.
"I said it sarcastically,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Despite Trump’s sarcasm defense, health and emergency agencies took his comments seriously and warned people against listening to the president.

There wasn’t a hint of sarcasm in what he said though so let’s not pretend that’s what he was doing.

Are we still trying to push that he was joking? A'ight if it gives you satisfaction but he kept looking at the Doctor, as some have mentioned not a hint of sarcasm in his voice and for me the clincher, the reporter who dared to question whether injesting bleach was a good idea was met with - You're fake news, you're fake, you're a faker. No he wasnt jokng cuz if he was then calling the reporter fake news was also a joke, right? :shrug:

Once you start supporting folks like Trump or Johnson, I suppose it's easier to keep going than fundamentally examine who you are as a person and what you stand for. If locking kids in cages, being credibly accused by nearly 20 women and 1 child of sexual assault, the racism, the sexism, allowing schools to be shot up etc, isn't enough and just provides ammunition to try and troll the libs, then you've already hit rock bottom, so why not keep digging at that point?

Its a sorry state when even 50k deaths encourages people to be more supportive of their incompetent leader

Are you sure he is not doing it because he took his own advice and injected himself with bleach and became unavailable?
