As a public service
This SHOULD go without saying, BUT.....Lets just say, that in no large group is everyone going to be
of the same intelligence. That will not happen.
We are unique individuals.
Having read some of the things I see on here,
believe it or not, I truly worry about some of you especially after witnessing
how some of you are easily mislead.
Thus, just in case the hydroxychloroquin mishaps were not enough,
please do not inject disinfectant, no matter what the idiot-in-chief says.
And in case there are any doubts, here is the words of the FDA commissioner on this topic;

Don't eat or inject yourself with disinfectant, warns FDA commissioner
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump suggested that scientists may want to explore bringing UV light inside the body to kill a Covid-19 infection, or should consider the use of disinfectant that "knocks it out in a minute ... by injection inside or almost a cleaning."
"I certainly wouldn't recommend the internal ingestion of a disinfectant," said US Food and Drug Administration commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn, who is also a member of the White House coronavirus task force.
Dr. Leana Wen, the former Baltimore health commissioner, agreed that nobody should be ingesting bleach or other disinfectants.
"I don't think there's any need to hedge on that," she said. "Do not try these things at home, and follow your doctor's advice and follow good public health guidance."

I would have been perhaps more accurate citing Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or better still the term malignant narcissism which includes traits of narcissism and psychopathy.
It's not about 'big baby Trump' having a fit and firing people.
It's about personality disordered Trump who has neurologic and cognitive deficiencies firing people.
It's not something he's going to grow out of, but grow into as he is enabled to do so.
Obviously there are some pretty desperate and gullible people out there.
Thus, here it is from the manufacturers of disinfectants;

Manufacturers have warned people not to inject themselves with disinfectant after Trump falsely suggested it might cure the coronavirus

A major manufacturer of cleaning products is urging people not to consume disinfectant after President Donald Trump incorrectly suggested that doing so might help cure coronavirus infections.
Trump told a press briefing on Thursday that because disinfectant killed the virus on external surfaces, perhaps it could be injected into the bodies of patients infected with COVID-19 as a treatment.
Medical experts condemned his comments as dangerous and irresponsible.
RB, which manufactures disinfectants in Europe, issued a statement warning its customers not to inject or otherwise consume its products under any circumstances.
A leading manufacturer of cleaning products has issued an urgent statement warning its customers not to attempt to inject themselves with disinfectants "under any circumstances" after President Donald Trump incorrectly claimed that doing so might cure COVID-19.
Trump suggested at a White House coronavirus briefing on Thursday that because disinfectant can kill the virus on external surfaces, perhaps it could be used internally to treat coronavirus patients.
"I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute," he said. "One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?" he said. "So it'd be interesting to check that."
He added: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."
The president also suggested that ultraviolet light, used internally, might help treat COVID-19.
Following his comments, RB, which manufacturers disinfectants for the European market, issued a statement urging the public never to attempt to consume its products.
"Due to recent speculation and social media activity RB (the makers of Lysol and Dettol) has been asked whether internal administration of disinfectants may be appropriate for investigation or use as a treatment for coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)," a company representative said.
The person added: "As a global leader in health and hygiene products we must be clear that under no circumstances should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route)."
Medical experts also lined up to condemn Trump's comments.
"This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it's dangerous," the pulmonologist Dr. Vin Gupta told NBC News.
He added: "It's a common method that people utilize when they want to kill themselves."
The coronavirus pandemic has led to a series of dangerous false remedies spreading online.
Some have promoted a bogus coronavirus cure involving bleach in online forums and on the app Telegram, Insider reported on Thursday.
Hundreds of Iranians have also reportedly died after rumors falsely suggested that consuming methanol could cure COVID-19.
The UK government also distanced itself from Trump's comments about patients injecting themselves with disinfectant.
Asked by Business Insider on Friday whether the comments were irresponsible, a representative for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "We can only speak for the UK's response, and in relation to disinfectant I'm certainly not aware that it's anything being recommended."
The UK's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jenny Harries told a press briefing on Friday that "nobody should be injecting anything."
She added: "We should be using evidence-based and properly-trialled treatments that we know will be safe."
Like that was relevant.
