How's that hydroxychloroquine working out?

He interrupted someone who was talking about UV light, alcohol and bleach killing the virus. He didn't mean an antiviral drug.

Its called gaslighting.

Its dumb. It is incredibly dumb. The old quote "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt" fits this perfectly. POTUS should let the scientists and doctors decide what should be tried at clinical trials. Nobody working on Covid-19 should waste anytime on this crackpot idea. His snake oil selling of hydroxychloroquine made it difficult to do clinical trials on other drugs and treatments because too many people wanted the "Trump Drug" or didn't want to risk getting a placebo. Well hydroxychloroquine ain't looking too promising right now. He should stop coming to these daily briefings. He provide no benefit. He sows confusion and rancor.

Now your putting words into Trumps mouth to elevate this screwball idea seem almost approach something moderately crazy Speaking of which, where are you getting your talking points? Your not the first person to bring up chemotherapy to make this stupid idea sound not inane.

I watched the video. Trump said the stupidest thing I've ever heard him say. That is saying alot.

Proven treatments to cancer happen every day under a doctors care because the treatment can kill the cancer before it kills the person. Injecting disinfectants? Not so much.

A clinician went over this several pages back. Your repeating Bills_Gal's inane arguments.

There are such things as stupid questions. This is one of them.

I'm channeling Trump and his loyal followers. Quite frankly, if you are ######ed enough to think injecting disinfectant has merit, you deserve the label.

Trump suggested injecting UV light and disinfectant. As far as the bleach an alcohol aspect, Trump made his suggestion after the CDC dude talked about the effects of UV light, alcohol and bleach on the virus. What Trump said was just plain dumb.

Your right, I haven't read your stance on the shutdown. Your second paragraph says enough.

You're one of the Trumptards who thinks this should be considered, not me.

So you Trumptards knew the makers of Lysol would have to warn people not to inject Lysol into people? ?

A known conman found enough willing marks to get elected.

Everyone says something wrong sometimes but it is the frequency with which Trump says incorrect things, the fact that he will never admit to being wrong about anything (which it truly unique compared with the company you mentioned) and the fact that the is POTUS and everything a President says is scrutinized is what gets him in trouble.

Yeah right. Virtually any disinfectant out there has a warning not to ingest it and to seek medical help if you do because the manufacturer knows its bad for you but they never said not to inject it so maybe that's okay?

Your talking about proven technologies versus abject stupidity to make your point?

Some things are just to stupid to spend even a second of serious consideration. Injecting people with disinfectant is one of them.

Northern Virginia, but I work in Maryland just outside of DC.

Yeah but at least Cuomo doesn't sound like a moron.

Repeating the same stupidity over and over does not make it any more rational.

Where I live, we haven't peaked. You go ahead and do what you want. If you get Covid-19, find some good disinfectant, inject it, huff it and you will be good to go.

Here's a thought, why not let the task force speak for itself? Why does he have to be there every day? We'd get clearer information, less rancor and he wouldn't look absolutely clueless.

I'm simply amazed that guy and Birx could keep a straight face when Trump probably the dumbest things he has ever said. Yest but those treatments are tested in clinical trials to prove usefulness and are done under a doctors supervision. Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat arthritis, lupus and malaria. It is also used to clean aquariums. When the President of the United States tells people this will prevent or cure Covid 19, there are people dumb enough to drink aquarium cleaner. There are also people who are probably dumb enough to inject themselves or huff disinfectant or bleach because of what this guy said. The makers of Lysol had to put out a disclaimer to not inject their product. Who would every think they would have to do that because of POTUS? Its not because Trump said it. Its because what he said was so incredibly stupid. Use disinfectant to kill the virus on surfaces. Use UV to kill the virus. Let the doctors/scientist perform clinical trials on treatments and develop a vaccine. Follow their advice on social distancing and hygiene. That is how all viruses or dealt with, not nutty ideas like injecting bleach or disinfectant.
