Shortly after President Trump touted chloroquine as a potential cure for COVID-19, the media triumphantly reported that a man had died from taking homemade chloroquine due to Trump's recommendation.  It turned out that the man's wife fed him some fish tank cleaner.  She even partook of it with him, except that he died while she didn't.  As a dedicated murder mystery reader, I didn't blame Trump.  My suspicions were focused elsewhere.  It turns out that my instincts may have been right on the money.  Here's the story the drive-by media didn't tell you:

A Chinese guy, a brilliant computer scientist and also a great pianist, told me:

Never put anything in your body, Made in China.

That should include cheap candy from dollar stores.

The Chinese manufacturer exported the diethylene glycol under the name TD glycerine, but the Spanish middleman Aduanas Javier de Gracia changed the name to glycerine when he filled the customs declaration in Panama, where hundreds of people died from drinking anti-freeze

This is misleading. It makes it sound like the importer was responsible for the error because of his customs declaration form.

The product wasn't labeled and sold as glycerine simply because of a form on a customs declaration.

the importer must have thought that they ordered glycerine, but the Chinese manufacturer shipped the wrong item.
