sd, I know you want to absolve Trump of blame because this couple wasn't smart enough to understand fish tank cleaner can and will kill you, but idk why you can't acknowledge Trump is not nearly smart enough to be standing up there talking about anything science related.

Obviously the massive majority of the blame needs to go on the couple that heard Trump speak and thought "oh my fish tank cleaner has that, let's dilute it and try it out."

But you can at least acknowledge Trump has no business whatsoever talking about anything science related. If he was smart he would literally say "science is not my field of expertise, I am deferring all technical/science related questions to the qualified personnel." Instead he's up there talking about potential miracle cures that qualified people do not support whatsoever. He's selling false hope to those of us who aren't smart enough to understand better.

I agree with this. It's part of his diarrhea of the mouth. But this is 99.99% on those 2. You don't make your own drugs because you heard about the name of it on TV. It's 2020, there are a million ways to look up how stupid that is.

I agree to a degree. What these people apparently did was not logical.

But you do have trump selling these false positives, avoiding talking about the real negatives ... with the apparent only interest in stemming the stock market declines.

Question:

Would this couple try the chlorine if Trump didnt say what he said at his press conferences?

no. the answer is no, they would not.

so there is that

I would have to research more about the actual real drugs he was talking about, not the fish tank cleaner. But aren't there quite a few articles out there that talk about the real potential of them? And they are researching it in terms of actually prescribing real doses?

Anyways, we can agree to disagree. But at a minimum they share a chunk of the blame.

Not trying to absolve him of anything. But I'm tired of every single thing being put on him. None of the post here mentioned anything about how stupid their idea was, so therefore, the context of the discussion is wrong imo.
