We're in a timeline where Dettol maker has to beg folks not to inject cleaning fluid into their veins. Thanks, Trump Reckitt Benckiser Plc, the British maker of disinfectants Lysol and Dettol, had to hastily issue a statement this morning telling people not to ingest or inject their cleaning products in the hopes of fending off coronavirus. This came just hours after the world watched slack-jawed as the President of the United States …
Oh great. I just heard Dexter's sister Didi asking "What does this button do?", Dexter replying "Don't press the button!", & Didi happily pressing the button to cause an explosion.
To quote Gir from Invader Zim, "We're all doomed! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Enjoy a pint or five & don't forget to eat those packets of nuts... =-Jp
It seems not at all a coincidence that Mark Grenon, the largest producer and distributor of chlorine dioxide bleach as a “miracle cure” in the US, wrote to Trump earlier this touting his product.
Speaking of his base, an interesting, if incredibly morbid, article from Politico: "Elderly Trump voters dying of coronavirus could cost him in November."

Pssst! Wanna know a secret?
Word around Wall Street has it that someone is lobbying of the POTUS the idea that dipping the body in liquid nitrogen will get rid of Coronavirus completely.
So invest in liquid nitrogen manufacturer. Now. Before Wall Street opens on Monday.
And you didn't hear this from me. Get it?
We can certainly hope. From your mouth to their dumb ears.
It sounds negative, but I've grown tired of this country wasting millions upon millions of manhours, never mind millions upon millions of dollars, dragging these Neanderthal types out of the muck of thier own creation.
Let Darwin have a bit of leash, I (sadly) have begun to believe; constantly saving these inbreds from themselves has only diluted the gene pool. Good pool upkeep *does* demand occasional chlorine treatments... :-p
"Word around Wall Street has it that someone is lobbying of the POTUS the idea that dipping the body in liquid nitrogen will get rid of Coronavirus completely."
Hey Mr Trump, I think once a body has been dunked in a vat of liquid nitrogen, you'll find that there is a prophylactic effect and there is no longer any risk of catching this or any other virus, ever.
So, we're afraid to blame the educational system for failing to educate people enough to make things like this not a problem?
Oh, that would require effort to fix, and it's easier to blame some current clown than to apply accountability to ... huge numbers of indoctrination system promoters from several generations past.
After all, we all know they were perfect. The history they (re)wrote about themselves, which was pushed into you at public school instead of useful knowledge, says so.
When will this become the fault of an educational system that graduates people who can't balance a checkbook, don't know enough to know how to start a business, and increasingly can't do simple reasoning, simply don't know diddly about how things work, and are completely dependent on someone else, in this case a politician, to know what to do?
I think partisans are looking in the wrong place if they actually want to solve the problems here.
If people were taught critical thinking - vastly useful in all domains other than being simple to con followers of dishonest leaders (but I repeat myself) - perhaps they'd just laugh at the idiots (and better ones would be available to elect) and move on.
Till then, we'll have to depend on Darwin to reduce the stupidity I suppose.
Seems brutal but it does work.
So, we're afraid to blame the educational system for failing to educate people enough to make things like this not a problem?Too long to copy the rest.
You are correct in this. Critical thinking went away starting in early 70's with the teacher's union deciding we needed more sheeple, less independence, etc. We are now reaping what has been sown. And since Darwin or really hardly any science is being taught, his law is running amok in the population.
As an American, I fear for the Republic and the Constitution. Both are under attack by both parties.
I'm not sure "not injecting dettol" reaches the realms of needing to be taught critical thinking. If you ignore the big "POISON" warning on the bottle, I'm not sure there is much which can be done for you.
Take a look at Tim Pool's observations on what Trump said and what the media are saying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRdybiEpIjg and see whether the comments from Dettol were necessary and whether El Reg blaming Trump for the comments being required is reasonable.
While I probably give the man with the hairstyle too much credit, I'm pretty sure he meant that it's worth finding out what it is in bleach that makes it effective (high content of acid? ;)
p.s. and yes, I did hear what he said. He shouldn't have said it, or anything else before thinking of consequences, but then, it's not that Mr T is the Consequences Man, is it? ;)
Bleach, in the form of either sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide, is a just-about-stable substance that essentially has "too much oxygen". Given a small push, that oxygen is liberated and, well, oxidises anything and everything it can find. Which is another way of saying it burns up (on an atomic level) everything, and microbes and germs don't take too kindly to that.
dioxygen difluoride?
What about the threat posed by Dihydrogen Monoxide?
http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html
How is it that this very stable genius and Chosen One (prophesied by no less than PT Barnum; There's one born every minute, no less!!!) has not been informed of the dangers of this chemical compound? I'm sure he will produce a Presidential Degree banning this dangerous chemical once it is pointed out to him.
Come on, we all are in desperate need of a good belly laugh this coronavirus season!

We know "what it is in bleach that makes it effective". Anyone with a basic understanding of chemistry knows.
Household chlorine bleach has a pH around 12. It has no acid whatsoever.
Perhaps in the future before posting you might want to spend a few seconds doing a little research.
About a week ago, in regard to something completely different, I wrote "The only issue is figuring out who is lying when they retroactively claim to be joking ... ". Simply replace the word joking with sarcastic.
I don't think it's all that difficult to spot the liar here. Perhaps we should call it "doing a donald" ... he's certainly trying to duck the well deserved criticism.
I can't believe there are still people trying to support him and his idiocy. The mind absolutely boggles.
