Day 39 and really stupid things

I hope that history books will somehow convey the stupidity of the man who is serving as President of the US during these Strange Days.

First he started touting hydroxycholorquine, a drug that is legitimately used for Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. A drug that can have serious side effects when not used properly; side effects like ... death.

Yesterday he talked about using disinfectants to kill the virus. Inside people. Disinfectants. Inject them or "otherwise get [them] inside the body". Disinfectants.

Lastly, UV light can kill viruses. So he thinks doctors should try to get UV light into the body, through the skin, or into the lungs somehow. UV light.

It would be humorous, but this is the President of the US saying these things, out loud, in public. And his idiot followers are listening to him. A couple in Arizona drank chlorquine phosphate ('cause it sort of sounds the same, eh?), a chemical used to clean fish tanks. He died; she was hospitalized. She had used it to treat her koi fish for parasites. "I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, 'Hey isn't that the stuff the President is talking about on TV?' " she told NBC News. "We were afraid of getting sick," she said.
