And we’re the crazy ones?
The president of Belarus is insisting that vodka and saunas will cure the coronavirus — while claiming nations that have gone into lockdown are in the throes of a “psychosis,” according to reports.
President Alexander Lukashenko has insisted the Eastern European nation of nearly 9.5 million remain open for business — and even took part in a packed ice hockey match on Saturday. “It’s better to die standing that to live on your knees,” he said, quoting the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, and calling sports “the best anti-virus remedy”.
“There are no viruses here,” he said of the ice rink after his game, insisting, “I don’t see them.” He attacked the “psychosis” that is crippling other nations’ economies, saying the “world has gone mad” — and offering what he says are simple solutions. “People should not only wash their hands with vodka but also poison the virus with it,” he advised his people, according to The Times of London. “You should drink the equivalent of 40-50 milliliters of rectified spirit daily. But not at work,” he reportedly said.

Methyl Alcohol works even better, and cheap
Just Say’n
Can’t hurt to try, as long as I get to pick my sauna partners anyway.
L
Over 98% effective.
The science is settled.
A gin and tonic may be more effective.
LOL
Looks like crazy uncle Alex has started to hit his vodka early this day.
That’s if you don’t mind to get blind.
Drink enough methanol and it is guaranteed that you won’t die of coronavirus.
It’s WHISKEY and saunas...
DUH!
lol
He says he doesn’t see the virus anywhere.
Me neither! lol
I guess he’s using middle ages science :)
There may be a kernel of truth behind the saunas.
A 1989 German study showed 2 saunas a day reduced the incidence of colds by 50%.
It raises your temperature and coronavirus doesn’t do well in heat.
Coincidentally I have a cheap sauna waiting for me at the post office.
There’s an old joke in Finland that says if you have something that neither alcohol nor sauna will cure, you’re gonna die.
Flu Bros, meet your new leader.
In San Francisco they call it "Nancy Pelosi Viagra."
I saw one the other day, pulling a rickshaw down the street.
It may not cure the Corona Virus, but it might make you feel good and that’s half the battle
