Oh look, who's have guessed?

Thing is bleach cure has been a thing for a while on the far right, groups such as Q-Anon and Info Wars have been pushing this for at least 6 weeks to 2 months, and we know Trump prefers to listen to pseudoscience rather than experts. And surprise surprise a leading proponent of bleach therapy wrote to him earlier this week, so like when Fox and Friends ponder something incredibly stupid and he parrots it, this looks like it was a similar thing.

The leader of the most prominent group in the US peddling potentially lethal industrial bleach as a “miracle cure” for coronavirus wrote to Donald Trump at the White House this week.

In his letter, Mark Grenon told Trump that chlorine dioxide – a powerful bleach used in industrial processes such as textile manufacturing that can have fatal side-effects when drunk – is “a wonderful detox that can kill 99% of the pathogens in the body”. He added that it “can rid the body of Covid-19”.

A few days after Grenon dispatched his letter, Trump went on national TV at his daily coronavirus briefing at the White House on Thursday and promoted the idea that disinfectant could be used as a treatment for the virus. To the astonishment of medical experts, the US president said that disinfectant “knocks it out in a minute. One minute!”

and who'd have thunk it..?

Though this is wellspring of Trumps insane 'let them drink bleach' ideas.

Wonder if she accepts it directly..?

'yes love its so I can keep you safe, now don't spill a drop...'

[hammerhead]

Seems a bit unfair mind. What do men have to have in their smoothies?

[voice]

If you believe the science and tell the missus it works, I think you'd better demonstrate that you believe it.

The Flu Klux Klan were out in San Diego earlier. The beaches are mostly opening for surfing and swimming and walking, but not sunbathing. In a world class non-sequitor one said “ We’re American ciritizens. If we want to sit on the beach we will sit on the beach”

looks like covidiocy is international in nature

More than 600 Iranians have died from the consumption of high-concentrated alcohol believing it protects against the coronavirus.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted a spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary, Ghulam Hussein Ismaili, as saying that the number of deaths due to drinking neat alcohol had reached a disturbing figure, adding that more than 3,000 people had been poisoned after drinking toxic beverages in an effort to treat the disease.

Ok. We know criminals in NY are being released to protect them from getting the virus excuse. Same in California. So why are people being arrested and jailed for going to the beach? Maybe the woke can explain the logic.

Link? And make sure it's a link to a state which is working on reducing its prison population.

California County Outlaws More Than One Swimmer Per Pool – No Matter How Large

So will people be required to take their germs with them when they leave the pool? Will the pool be emptied and vigorously disinfected between every swimmer?

Well chlorine is a bleach, so as your orange daddy says it's a cure we should try, I expected you to be all for this...

It's a slow, incremental, return to normality. Would you prefer them to have kept their complete ban on public swimming pool use?

No rhyme or reason. You support opening pools and support the ban on granny buying flower seeds because that might infect you.
