Actually another case is when some tourists to Yellowstone were advised to buy bear repellent to keep bears away. They then sprayed themselves down with it. Ended up in the hospital.

Well, it was repellent wasn’t it?

If the Iranians just had regular old legal liquor stores and encouraged people to have a shot of Jim Beam a day as a preventative measure, maybe they wouldn’t be in this mess.

Imagine what they’ll escalate to after this one fails to produce the desired result.

If alcohol consumption killed the Coronavirus, why is it so prevalent in the land of vino - Italy?

“... have a shot of Jim Beam a day as a preventative measure, ”

I don’t know about Jim Beam, but Elijah Craig seems to work. I haven’t come down with the Mexican Beer virus, aka Wuflu (suck on that, Ilhan) yet.

I’m mostly worried that Gov. Coonman Northam will shut down the state liquor stores with the excuse of trying to contain the Chinese corona virus.

It probably does not thin mucous and cut phlegm as well as whiskey.

Well, they may be dead, but at least they avoided getting the coronavirus. So it worked.

The story makes me think of a character in Aristophanes' play The Clouds who has debts coming due and doesn't have the money to pay them. One solution that occurs to him is to kill himself.

“Even the Trump impeachment wasn’t given this much attention.”

Good observation. They needed something they could safely provide to make people forget their complete impeachment lie and screw up and leave he voters feeling that Trump is bad or inept. C-19 is it.

Libs/socialists have been doing this for years.

Alinsky:

RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.

RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

When Franco was driving on Madrid in 1936 some of his Moroccan troops broke into labs at the university. When they saw animals preserved in formaldehyde, they thought it would make them immortal so they drank it (with the same result).
