Trump floated the idea of injecting disinfectants
The president’s on-the-fly idea for a coronavirus treatment would likely result in a slow and painful death.

What a fucking idiot. Him and you.
During a press briefing on Thursday, President Donald Trump mused aloud about injecting disinfectants to cure people with the coronavirus. “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute,”
he said, following a presentation by a top Department of Homeland Security scientist on the efficacy of disinfectant products, warmth, and sunlight against the coronavirus on
surfaces. “And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
Depending on the disinfectant and the quantity, you could experience organ failure, anemia, or cardiac arrest, and die. Disinfectants are biocides, which means they’re meant to disrupt biological systems. The signage mounted behind Trump when he made his initial comments specifically mentioned bleach and isopropyl alcohol as commonly available disinfectants that people can use to rid surfaces of the virus.
So he, and you, once again, are idiots.
Small studies have indicated that intravenous injections of large quantities of bleach can cause acute
kidney injury and
thrombosis, or blood clots. Bleach causes red blood cells to rupture, thus preventing them from carrying oxygen to essential organs and other parts of the body, which could possibly bring about a slow death. The chemical would inflame the lining of the veins, causing the blood clots along with an intensely painful burning sensation at the injection site and sometimes near the chest. The chlorine in bleach can also alter the pH of one’s blood, possibly triggering cardiac arrhythmias and kidney damage. The kidney also filters the body’s blood, putting it in more direct contact with contaminants like bleach. There’s a good chance that the bleach will lead to death, though the extreme pain involved usually stops people from injecting large quantities of the chemical, which is why drinking it may be more fatal.
You should be the ginny pig.
