Ingesting bleach

As part of my university course in the 1980s, I was taught modules on toxicology. You know, learn about poisons. We all have dangerous substances in our homes, and bleach is probably one of the nastier ones. To suggest that a corrosive substance like a solution of sodium hypochlorite be injected into the human body, or even better, inhaled into the lungs for the purposes of eradicating coronavirus is irresponsible. However, this level of stupidity is about par for the course for Donald John Trump, who exhorted this lunacy after dining with the manufacturers of a certain brand of disinfectant. It is bad enough to publicly endorse one of the less friendly medicines in the pharmacopoeia (hydroxychloroquine) as a miracle cure for coronavirus - people have died following that suggestion. To ingest bleach is almost suicidal. Do you want to know how many children are maimed and killed after ingesting household bleach after drinking from those brightly coloured bottles in mummy's kitchen cupboard?

  2. This is so true, Guido but this lunatic knows no bounds and the fools that stand behind him are just as bad. Hopefully, many will not listen to this, but I fear some will. He needs to be stopped.
