Wouldn't you love to know what everyone in the White House knew back in say December or January? And they sat on their hands. Even just shutting things down a week earlier would have saved a lot of lives.

Nobody was taking it seriously...people were only talking impeachment and how killing a terrorist was trying to force us into a war to forget about impeachment. So when it comes to credibility...impeachment was a nothing burger and we killed a terrorist which quieted an enemy and didn't lead to WW3 like ive been told would happened.

mid January thru mid February, 50+ headlines exist by the media criticizing the administration stating the Flu was the biggest risk versus the virus from the shithole which is China. Tom Cotton made remarks on the floor Jan 26(?) and again early Feb which were laughed at and criticized by the media.

Now I wish we had an honest media institution who actually investigated and reported fairly on these issues...not write stories loosely based narratives on unproven leaks and whatever dated quotes 4-5 months later while several months ago promoted ideals such as it was racists to stop travel to China, that we should worry about the flu over coronavirus, that Cotton is promoting conspiracy theories, etc.

Go back and look...Biden and Nancy Pelosi said in statements printed and on social media it was racist to impose a travel ban against China in late January. Go back and look at the World Health Organization statements one on Jan 14 stating "no evidence of human to human transmission". Again in mid-Feb, "no reason to stop travel in and out of China" by the WHO. The WHO are the folks countries go to and to be consulted for information and data about strategies about to deal with these type of situations.

Id really like to know what folks woulda said in January if Trump locked everyone down...I can see the headlines now.

Im not pretending things have gone great...it hasn't gone great for ANYBODY. No one has been on the right side of this.

Birx and Fauci how done a great job imo… but we cant even get a solid antibodies tests that can be mass produced.

President has already indicated aid state packages are being worked on currently and will be coming in the next round of help.

Trump suggests 'injection' of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and 'clean' the lungs

Here is the entire conversation for context:

We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids, and I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes,” Bryan said. “Isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing. Just bring it on and leaving it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster.”

Bryan added, “We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva.”

Immediately following these remarks, Trump said:

So, I’m going to ask Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.
A few moments later, ABC News reporter Jon Karl asked Bryan, “The president mentioned the idea of a cleaner, bleach and isopropyl alcohol emerging. There’s no scenario where that could be injected into a person, is there?”

“No, I’m here to talk about the finds that we had in the study,” Bryan responded. “We don’t do that within that lab at our labs.”

Trump then clarified his remarks: “It wouldn’t be through injections, you’re talking about almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big affect if it’s on a stationary object.”

Look I get the role of the media...they hate the president and they hate the people who voted for him. But to suggest what they are is misleading.

So people need to freebase Lysol? It does seem Trump reserves his brain cells for what he has used to amass his fortune, other than that he doesn't seem very bright. He seems to utter things you would expect out of a grade school kid.

He is playing with peoples lives here.

He does seem the need to share his uneducated opinion on everything when he just needs to STFU.

Trump apparently spends every night at a Holiday Inn Express.

Lysol maker warns against internal use of disinfectants after Trump comments

WASHINGTON — The manufacturer of Lysol, a disinfectant spray and cleaning product, issued a statement warning against any internal use after President Donald Trump suggested that people could get an "injection" of "the disinfectant that knocks (coronavirus) out in a minute."

"As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route)," a spokesperson for Reckitt Benckiser, the United Kingdom-based owner of Lysol, said in a statement to NBC News.

"As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information," the statement continued, adding that the company believes it has a "responsibility in providing consumers with access to accurate, up-to-date information as advised by leading public health experts."
