"Officials say two men in Georgia who have suffered from psychiatric problems ingested household chemicals in an effort to protect themselves against COVID-19, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Gaylord Lopez, director of the Georgia Poison Center, told the newspaper that a man was hospitalized on Saturday after he claimed to have ingested 16 ounces of bleach in a bid “to prevent COVID.” “He said that he took 16 ounces,” Lopez said. “I don’t know very many patients who will take 16 ounces, but then again, it is a psych history patient." Lopez said the man was later transported to a psychiatric ward and has since been released. The director said another man had also been hospitalized after drinking Pine-sol mixed with mouthwash, beer and pain medication. It’s unclear, Lopez said, whether the two men had tried ingesting the cleaners after listening to remarks President Trump made about disinfectants at a press conference last week." https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...KByemeOAsk_Zta89w9I8kvlx6q0iK_AM8AZ2CRSnDCzD8 So, ignoring politics for a second because this is actually a serious issue and this is why we have to be careful with how we talk. I'm glad they're doing better and they were treated for poison. I just have to ask. I can understand the beer, I can understand pain medication. What I can't understand is why would a person think mouth wash was a good thing to add to that mixed drink.
They drank bleach & it is somehow Trump’s fault ? I wonder if they added ice cubes? Clorox on the rocks.....
why bother unless we want to break down bad decisions made by psych patients every 10 minutes, there wouldnt be room for any other threads. Sounds political to me. Certainly is political for thehill and the OP quoted the hill and the political slant, so, ya, this is a political article posted with political intent by a political poster to make a political statement in a political way.
The MSM convinced the uninformed and easily manipulated that Trump said to when that is objectively false. This is on them.
Sometimes when a woman tells a guy to "go kill yourself" he goes and does it. It's just Darwin at work, no big deal. Sometimes a woman encourages and coaches a guy to commit suicide and he obeys her. It's just Darwin at work, he deserved it for being so damn dumb.
The sheer madness of it, and on a political forum! Receiving a political response complaining about it being political?
Trump himself said that his statements were him being "sarcastic." But please Trump supporters, continue to blame the big mean media for Trump's absolute stupidity and failure to accept responsibility and lead the United States through this pandemic. #winning #maga
Do you think they would have done it without dirty Donny’s ridiculous comments? Sue him for everything he has.
Meanwhile Democrats are nominating a senile old man who can't put a sentence together. The fact Democrats put so much stock in gaffes like this while pushing Joe Biden really shows how weak they are.
Nature weeding out the stupid. BTW the title of your OP is incorrect. Do you work for the NYT or WaPo?
As long as Democrats focus on minor gaffes like this shows how little they have and how desperate they are. This kind of talk is going to propel our victory.
Wow, you have taken it to whole new level as a member of Team T by invoking the notorious case of Michelle Carter.
Yeas, Mr Trump just gaffed. Understandable, but didn't he say it was quite deliberately said as sarcasm to taunt reporters? Not a gaffe if we can believe Mr Trump.
It already stands proven.. no more proof needed. If you watch and believe the msm you are malinformed.
Sure. Biden gets a pass for saying he went to prison in south Africa but you want to crucify trump for this? I admit trump is no angel, he just looks like one when he stands next to Democrats.
Biden isn't POTUS. Trump is. His failure to lead is all on him. His decision to be "sarcastic" while thousands of Americans are dying daily from a virus he called a "Liberal Hoax" seem inappropriate at a time like this. But hey, glad to see Trump's adorers laughing along with their fearless leader's "sarcastic" jokes as families lose loved ones.
The joke is how Democrats twisted trumps words and say he said to drink bleach. If Democrats were stronger, they wouldn't need to stoop to this low.
