At least 5 states report an increase in calls to poison control after Trump's disinfectant' COVID-19 remarks
by Aysha Qamar
Calls to poison centers have increased in a number of states following Donald Trump's suggestion last week that disinfectants be considered a possible treatment for the novel coronavirus. Yes, people actually started ingesting disinfectants like Lysol last week. While Trump claimed his comment was sarcastic on Friday, he once again took no responsibility for the consequences resulting from his stupid remarks. When asked about the increase in people using disinfectants improperly, Trump replied: "I can't imagine why," during a White House news conference Monday. He failed to once again acknowledge the severe consequences his words have for some Americans.
Popular disinfectant companies like The Clorox Company and Reckitt Benkiser, the parent company of both Lysol and Dettol, quickly released statements emphasizing that their products should not be consumed. Despite warnings from healthcare providers and other officials, people acted on Trump's advice and ingested chemicals, including bleach, across the country. In at least five states, poison centers reported they had an increase in calls within 18 hours of Trump's broadcasted stupidity.
How so? The SC ruling just reiterated what has been understood from the founding of the Republic.
