Don't Inject!

Still no end to the virus. Trump claimed that folks should be inject with disinfectants.

We've passed the grim milestone.

Over 50,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 and more to come.

We're heading into the 60,000 by next week. There are 53,000 Americans who died from the coronavirus. We are at 1.3 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus.

Donald J. Trump's Thursday Coronavirus Task Force presser was so bad, he actually had held Friday's presser at a mere 20 minutes. Finally, folks were starting to notice how bad these pressers are. On Thursday, Trump openly suggested that Americans use ultraviolet light and inject disinfectants as a tool to fight the coronavirus.

What was shocking was the fact that Trump was serious about wanting folks to be injected with disinfectants.

Trump made the remark after Bill Bryan, who leads the Department of Homeland Security's science and technology division, gave a presentation on research his team has conducted that shows that the virus doesn't live as long in warmer and more humid temperatures. Bryan said, "The virus dies quickest in sunlight," leaving Trump to wonder whether you could bring the light "inside the body."

Dr. Deborah Brix was uncomfortable with Trump's remarks about inject Americans with disinfectants.

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."

He added: "I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

He didn't specify the kind of disinfectant.

CNN even went to pan in on the look of Dr. Deborah Brix, one of the chief scientists helping Trump through this pandemic. She looked pretty shocked when she heard Trump say that.

Today, he even attempted to use the U.S. Secret Service to dismiss a CNN reporter.

The far-white website The Drudge Report went hard on Trump.

Congress had passed the extension to the small business loans that was depleted. Five corporations managed to take out of the small business loan. Most of the companies returned the money after a huge backlash.

During the signing ceremony, Trump claimed the comments were sarcastic. However, in a pandemic, he needs to be straightforward and honest about his remarks. So he's actually telling the American people he's joking about injecting disinfectants into your body.

It prompt Lysol, a large provider of disinfectants and cleaning supplies to rebuke him.

The president has repeatedly touted unproven treatments during the daily briefings on COVID-19, the disease associated with the coronavirus. For instance, he has touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential "game changer," but health officials have strongly cautioned against it.

An Arizona man died in late March after having ingested chloroquine phosphate — believing it would protect him from becoming infected with the coronavirus. The man's wife told NBC News that she had watched televised briefings during which Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine.

Here's the map.



Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.

1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this.
