Criminal Fuhrer Trump* and the Republican Reich never cease to amaze me.  Every time I think they have exceeded bounds of human credulity, they take another asymptotic step toward infinity.<\/font><\/p>\n

After a presentation Thursday that touched on the disinfectants that can kill the novel coronavirus<\/a> on surfaces and in the air, President Trump pondered whether those chemicals could be used to fight the virus inside the human body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute,\u201d Trump said during Thursday\u2019s coronavirus press briefing<\/a>. \u201cAnd is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The question, which Trump offered unprompted, immediately spurred doctors, lawmakers and the makers of Lysol to respond with incredulity and warnings against injecting or otherwise ingesting disinfectants, which are highly toxic.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy concern is that people will die. People will think this is a good idea,\u201d Craig Spencer, director of global health in emergency medicine at New York-Presbyterian\/Columbia University Medical Center, told The Washington Post. \u201cThis is not willy-nilly, off-the-cuff, maybe-this-will-work advice. This is dangerous.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
