it’s a hoax. get over it
She is right. Various writers are inserting increasingly unhinged accounts of POTUS’s question in stories that have little if anything to do with it. In the spirit of inquiry, people have the right to ask questions. Not doing so, but instead just going along with the experts is how you end up with groupthink. You have to be able to ask questions and problem solve. It’s bad to try to shut that process down. For one thing it’s treats Birx dismissively, like she can’t defend her own area of expertise.
This really does get to the root of what is wrong with the establishment media. Ironically enough.
in really hard times .. with people who dont know hard times.. everything takes on a different importance. this
cockamamie reporting on stupid gossipy items are NOT necessary and just plain silly.. my question?: is that all you have to offer the world? downers.. negatives .. spreading your misery around to others..
maybe something is coming up soon and trump is just pretending to be confused...
The Ohio primary is tomorrow, 4/28.
My family is 4 conservatives. We are informed, and not stupid.
Guess what? No one pursued us with info, so we have no ballots. We won’t be voting nor can we.
See how this virus hoax works? All the new taxes I’d be voting against I’m sure will happen. My left is mom in law and all he like friends in their 80s, I bet they have their ballots.
She’s defending him.
I think the Prez is baiting the press again. He has the ability to change the news cycle at his will.
Trump SHOULD RUN WITH THIS!!!!
He should say:
Even Dr. Birx has come to learn that the Fake News Media is more interested in trying to hurt me than they are in helping the American people. Together we have ALL made tremendous progress in dealing with this unprecedented situation. Rather than report our collective success the petty and partisan press revel in doing whatever it can do to harm me.
They are a disgrace. Their lack of balance is truly SAD.
Uh oh, hasn’t she heard it is ‘wrong’ for this administration to criticize the Leftist media cabal for spreading fakenews?!
Flatten the curve on this. No more press briefings until it dies out.
Here is the part of the briefing where President Trump speaks of "injection." It occurs 25 minutes into the briefing.
Four minutes (two questions) later in the same briefing, President Trump corrects himself after a question from Jon Karl.
Karl: The President mentioned the idea of a cleaner, like bleach or isopropyl alcohol... there's no scenario where that can be injected into a person, is there?President Trump: It wouldn't be through injection. I was referring to a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't work, but it certainly has a big effect if it's on a stationary object.
In order for the "inject Lysol" meme to work, the MSM has to ignore the comments made just four minutes later. Bias by omission is one the major ways that the MSM corrupts the reporting of the news.

What is Dr. Birx doing on CNN anyway? Anyone who is even remotely attached to this administration should not agree to appear on that slime network. A total boycott should be in place.
Well, this is what bothers me, Dr.Birx...your two daughters work for Bill Gates. Your husband worked for Bill Clinton.
Coincidence? And let’s discuss Dr.Fauci...He is an advisor on the board of Gates Foundation, both invested heavily in Remdesivir. Fauci gave $3.7 million from the NIH funds to this Wuhan Lab. He predicted a pandemic would break out in the US in 2017. Coincidence? Does any of this bother you?
All weekend long, NBC radio news has been broadcasting, “Don’t drink Clorox or Lysol. It’s the choice of those who would commit suicide”.
That line follows—in so many words: the President’s message is faulty.
It looks like Dr. Brix, the Swamp media, and none of the Left, have never heard of an asthma inhaler. What is an asthma inhaler? It’s a method of injecting “medicine” directly into the lungs. It’s used regularly by millions of people.
The “medicine” could easily be an antibiotic. But for the name, an antibiotic is no different than a antiseptic.
Additionally, some researchers are currently looking at placing UV light sources into breathing tubes to kill viruses in the lungs. So that’s not a new idea either. Sorry President Trump. Your great idea of directly inducing “antiseptic and UV lights” into the lungs to kill the virus is already being looked at. Yours wasn’t a new idea after all.
My local news chick said this morning, “after the President told people to inject Clorox”. I screamed so loud my dog left the room.
That’s how liberals chastise each other.
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .
The biggest sin the evil media has committed here is completely ignoring Under Secretary Bryan’s presentation. Apparently the Science and Technology Directorate at the US Department of Homeland Security are tracking individual virus(es?) and are determining half-lives under various conditions.
I have not been able to find the April 23 news conference posted, so I went to the White House site and is Bryan’s summary: “So, in summary, within the conditions we’ve tested to date, the virus in droplets of saliva survives best in indoors and dry conditions. The virus does not survive as well in droplets of saliva. And that’s important because a lot of testing being done is not necessarily being done, number one, with the COVID-19 virus, and number two, in saliva or respiratory fluids.
And thirdly, the virus dies the quickest in the presence of direct sunlight under these conditions. And when you — when you look at that chart, look at the aerosol as you breathe it; you put it in a room, 70 to 75 degrees, 20 percent humidity, low humidity, it lasts — the half-life is about an hour. But you get outside, and it cuts down to a minute and a half. A very significant difference when it gets hit with UV rays.
And, Mr. President, while there are many unknown links in the COVID-19 transmission chain, we believe these trends can support practical decision making to lower the risks associated with the virus.
If I can have my next slide.
And when that — while that comes up, you’ll see a number of some practical applications. For example, increasing the temperature and humidity of potentially contaminated indoor spaces appears to reduce the stability of the virus. And extra care may be warranted for dry environments that do not have exposure to solar light.
We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids. And I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing — just spraying it on and letting it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster. We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva.
This is not the end of our work as we continue to characterize this virus and integrate our findings into practical applications to mitigate exposure and transmission. I would like to thank the President and thank the Vice President for their ongoing support and leadership to the department and for their work in addressing this pandemic. I would also like to thank the scientists, not only in S&T and the NBACC, but to the larger scientific and R&D community.
Thank you very much.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Bill.”
The only mention in the transcript of bleach and isopropyl alcohol is here in Bryan’s summary.
The good news is that it appears that the COVID is not a super virus. It is subject to the same natural forces that apply to known viruses and likely will be less active in the summer if people are allowed to participate in normal outdoor activities. The bad news is that most people are only exposed to the media misrepresentation and never see the truth.
News Cycle? Just wait til she finds out it is part of the Democrat Campaign...
the down-ticket needs ‘all hands on deck’,
as they’re running Biden as the Presidential Candidate.
