NEW YORK, April 29 — Americans appear to be losing faith in what President Donald Trump says about the coronavirus pandemic, with almost everyone rejecting Trump's remark that Covid-19 may be treated by injecting infected people with bleach or other disinfectants, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released yesterday.

And 98 per cent of Americans said they would not try to inject themselves with bleach or other disinfectants if they got the coronavirus, including 98 per cent of Democrats and 98 per cent of Republicans. That is a near-unanimous rejection of an idea that Trump floated at a time of widespread anxiety about the virus.

Medical experts immediately condemned the president's suggestion, and the makers of disinfectant products warned the public against ingesting them. Trump later tried to portray his remarks as sarcasm, but given his popularity with some Americans, health officials expressed concern his remarks would persuade some people to poison themselves.

Bleach wasn’t an interesting idea as he claimed it to be to kill coronavirus in our body. Just saying

Lysol and Bleach were to blame. They ain't the bright kind.
