As if these people had nothing else to do.
The New York Poison Control Center says it’s received a spike in calls after President Donald Trump’s controversial comments about
disinfectant and
coronavirus.
A spokesperson for the poison control center, a subagency of NYC’s Health Department, tells the
New York Daily News that it had 30 cases of possible exposure to disinfectants between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday. That’s more than double the amount for the same 18-hour period a year ago, when the center received just 13 similar calls about ingesting household cleaners.
According to the newspaper, nine calls Thursday and Friday were specifically about possible exposure to Lysol, ten were related to bleach, and 11 were about household cleaners in general. In last year’s 18-hour period, none of the calls were about Lysol exposure and only two were about bleach.
Maryland’s Emergency Management Agency said it similarly received calls Thursday and Friday about disinfectant use and coronavirus.
Trump later claimed he was being "sarcastic."

Calls are flooding poison control centers about accidental ingestion or exposure to disinfectants since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, with Kentucky's rate above the national average.
The
Kentucky Poison Control Center said it witnessed a 30% increase in overall exposure calls related to disinfectant agents last month, including a 56% increase in poisonings from household cleaners and a 30% uptick in poisonings from hand sanitizers.
That mimics a national trend.
The Kentucky Poison Control Center said it had a 30% increase in March in overall exposure calls related to disinfectants used to fight COVID-19.
