Wrote these thoughts early this morning about 5 thirty am. I was still in disbelief and did not want to put them out there. As the day wore on and the news cycle progressed, it seemed to be more factual.
And Trump said:
"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute, 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 it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it'd be interesting to check that, so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds--, it sounds interesting to me. So we'll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it goes, the way it kills it in one minute, that's, uh, that's pretty powerful.
Per NPR website
Yes this is out of context, and it sounds like it is fake news. But this stream of consciousness presidency is not moving toward toward solving this calamitous issue. We do not have a handle on this virus, no treatment plan, little knowledge of mode of transmission and at least partially a population that wants things to be back to normal so they can get haircuts and play golf. We cannot move in this direction until we know more about this disease and who has it and how to treat it.
I have stayed away from sharing my opinions on this topic for awhile now and checked if the statements were in fact made by the President. I looked at NBC and NPR which offered an exact quote. I am stunned. Inject a vile of Clorox or Lysol? This puts me over the top.
all for now
stay safe
I still miss Chinese food
