Trump was talking about a drug with a name similar to fish tank cleaner, but which is not actually fish tank cleaner, a fact missed by the dead guy, the media, and apparently you

sucks to be right
COVID-19 prank challenge update: some fuckwit walked into a police station in Australia, claimed to have coronavirus and coughed on a 71 year old staff member while his buddy filmed the whole thing.

quote:

While inquiries were being made regarding the man’s claims, the police station was closed, and the necessary isolation protocols were put in place.

Upon further inquiries, it was revealed the man did not have the virus.

Officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District arrested a 21-year-old man at the station, where he was charged with stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm, and resist or hinder police officer in the execution of duty.

The Coffs Harbour man was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear in Coffs Harbour Local Court on Wednesday 6 May 2020.

Stanford called and there's an opening tomorrow for a neuropsych examination. My wife has decided that it's worth the risk because otherwise we're waiting until July.

Hopefully it will be ok, because it's not part of the main hospital. Masks and gloves on the way in and out.

Technically, the antimalarial that Trump mentioned was hydroxychloroquine--a less toxic lethal version of chloroquine :ironicat:

:yum: - hi
This is just me, but I think the President of the United States of America has a responsibility to communicate clearly and effectively, especially in times of crisis, and it’s ok to critique him when he fails to do so.

This includes knowing when not to say things. In this case giving vague and poorly-substantiated medical directives out to a panicky population is actually a bad thing, and it was predictable that a bad outcome would result. Most Americans don’t have detailed knowledge of pharmacology, and it was possible to anticipate that chemical names are confusing and someone would confuse them. This is why we have prescriptions filled by pharmacists and we don’t just tell people to go pick their medications out of a huge array of inscrutably named chemicals.

Technically yes, the old people bought the stuff and drank it, the ultimate responsibility for those actions lies in their choices. But isn’t he supposed to be a leader? A leader is responsible for the actions of the followers. If I’m a manager and I give bad instructions to my employees, and then they do bad work, that’s my fault. Being a leader is a position of responsibility, and it means taking responsibility for even unanticipated outcomes.
