Well, it's about par for the course....Coffee is hot, etc.

But to be fair, there really is probably only one American who needed to be told this....and maybe a few of his supporters. The couple who ingested the aquarium chemical come to mind.

Just to be contrarian, I'm seeing this floated around.  Injecting blood "disinfected" by UV light has been used in the past.  Reading the conclusion of that link there are obviously risks involved but more research is called for.  Of course if this is what Trump meant he should have said so. But the media will also not point this alternative treatment out and will run with the Lysol angle so idiots will try it and injure themselves :dumdum Darwinism and all that (also note the people who ingested fish tank cleaner aren't Trump supporters).

You’re blaming the media for people reacting to Trump saying injecting disinfectant is something we should look into. Just listen to yourself. This is asinine.

 

He also referred to it as “cleaning.” He wasn’t talking about blood nor does it really matter if he was (he wasn’t).  If it’s worth researching the scientists will figure that out. Trump should shut the f#&% up about things he knows nothing about, stop floating moronic ideas that pop into his head, and let the scientists do the research. Then when they give him information that should be shared he can do that. What he’s doing is imbecilic and you should not be defending it.

Yeah, I say why not both? "We thought if anything it would help us ‘cus that's what we've been hearing on the news." The lady's own words.

 

Toilet paper hoarding was never recommended by the administration, yet: “It might seem weird that people would hoard toilet paper because toilet paper is not going to prevent you from getting infected. I think what’s happening is this is going viral with images of people panic-buying toilet paper."

 

Yes the media can make things worse. Human psychology is weird like that...

That is both a true and carefully worded statement. It is an important reminder to the ‘immunity passport’ crowd. It also should be mentioned that acute viral exposure that produces antibodies historically means that the recovered person has at least temporary immunity from another infection, assuming the strain hasn’t mutated significantly. 
 

Fauci is exercising restraint and caution as much as anyone:
 

“sometimes you have to act on a historical basis,” Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a webcast with JAMA this month. “It’s a reasonable assumption that this virus is not changing very much. If we get infected now and it comes back next February or March we think this person is going to be protected.”

What that announcement from WHO in combination with other evidence we have had tells me we can say with some safety there is still a lot we don't know about COVID 19
