About a third of Americans surveyed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have used some kind of risky cleaning practice to stop the spread of Covid-19, the CDC says

About a third of Americans surveyed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have used some kind of risky cleaning practice to stop the spread of Covid-19, the CDC said on Friday.People have put bleach their food. Others have gargled or inhaled it. And some have washed their bodies with household cleaning and disinfectant products.None of this cleaning behavior is recommended by the CDC.

And of those people who were surveyed that acknowledged that they used high-risk cleaning practices to prevent the spread of Covid-19, more were likely to report health problems related to cleaning.The biggest problem area was people's limited understanding about how to prepare cleaning solutions. Only 23% knew, for instance, to use only room temperature water to dilute bleach solutions. People were better about using gloves and other protective equipment.

Anyone who is misusing bleach and other cleaning materials is an idiot.

how many of them are NOT trump cult?

That's nothing, people at CNN put all kinds of toxic stuff in their bodies every day!

I know of households in Europe, that pour drops of bleach in water to wash their vegetables.

Thank you Duhnald Trump

please dont tell them let nature take its course and be free by maga's

Thank donnie and his straight line family tree

That’s intelligent - can’t they read warning labels? Weren’t you taught better?

That’s Trump’s base for you. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I really hope respondents were lying/joking when reporting their stupidity.

Bvo

Yes, please drink Trump's koolaid people, it's the end of the world!

I’m sure they were Trumpian!!!

Fake news-as usual

Wow! People are dumber than heck! In 2020 people still illiterate?

So Trump base is totally wacko?

Let me guess, somehow this is Trump's fault?

A third you say ... 😂🤪😎

You can’t fix stupid 🤣

Joe bidden said ' I helped send many black people to prison, didn't want to do it, but felt it was his obligation too. At time he was writing his crime 85 bill against black people

Laurie_Garrett Where there is no knowledge, the people perish.

More trumped up lies for the fake news network cnn. They would try and sell you a pile of shit if they could figure out how to get rid of the smell. Unfortunately their network stinks itself.

Its called his base!

Lmao why you wonder they have a dumb leader, of course bc the society is also stupid

So 1/3 of the country is stupid... that’s about right watching what’s going on now and reading twitter

This seems really unlikely.

I think Americans are smarter than that. A third of Americans? I have to go fake news!!!

DavidDorn

FakeNews

Imagine that, a very similar percentage of Americans who claim to be trump’s base. SMH

A third of Americans are amazingly dumb

Laurie_Garrett This is Failure of the CDC and media not clearly telling us what to do

Some really stupid people

Fake news. WTF.

Brilliant, they are the ones who will not be missed.

Then they just have to be plain stupid !!!!

Donny Virus told them to.

Jajaja 🤣 pero que idiotez 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ el Clorox es para desinfectar superficies, pisos u objetos como muebles de cocina ceramicos, azulejos etc y no para el cuerpo de una persona 🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ ni menos para ingerir 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ jajaja jajaja 😂 que son idiotas 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There are a lot of stupid people out there who believe all the fear mongering.

Well that’s how dumb people are. Don’t blame realDonaldTrump idiots

I believe that was a recommendation by the idiot Trump!!

“Survival of the fittest” - Charles Darwin

Was this after the President told people in inject people ingest disinfectants?

Yep...must be trump’s base.

fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews fakenews

Wow...explains a lot

Idiots

Can’t help stupid...

Natural selection

That’s not only a lie that’s an outrageous lie there is no words to say about CNN when the rioters went and burned your lobby in the building of CNN I think they were trying to get to you you’ll go down with the rest

Probably Trump supporters I'm sure! Continue drinking the kool-aid!

Laurie_Garrett Don’t do that!

Talk about gullible, they will believe anything..ive got a magic camel for sale if anyones interested.

Hoarding toilet paper, wearing hazmat suits to the supermarket, drinking cleaning products...Covid-19 WILL be remembered as an irrational, panic-induced overreaction.

Sometimes, when you read how utterly stupid some people can be, it's eye opening. Who are the Cult45 fans who do this? disinfectant must obviously only be for smart people who aren't worshippers of the IdiotInChief MoronInChief

Doesn’t shock me at all

There’s no scientific basis for this do not fallow it👹👹👹

People use common sense.

Natural selection at work

Mejor sería limpiar y desinfectar a CNN que tiene muchas 🕷🦗🦂 adentro

I thought it was for assholes!

That one third statistic sure does come up often in discussions about the portion of the adult population that both needs a babysitter and complains about having to have one.

Evolution DarwinAwards

Come on cnn be real just say trump supporters

Why can't we appreciate natural selection anymore?

annette5000 But... trump said......

Using your “common sense” is the best thing to do when we don’t have the WHO, scientists or Dr Faucci and medical teams allowed to give us many facts or stats anymore.

For the sake of humanity, I hope this is 'fake news'

They listened to the President. Very dangerous chemical.

LOVE IT. TRUMP 2020

🤣🤣 Classic Trump era.

did they all vote for trump?

More fake news

This is garbage 'reporting' and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

A third of Americans have gargled or drank bleach? Could that be the realDonaldTrump base?

People have put bleach in their food? Come on CNN, you guys can do better... Well ur TDS infected readers will believe it anyways

Any proof of people gargling bleach? Seems like there would be some kind of evidence to back this up.

BrendanDzw EvanBoydSTATS mlbandyk crum... be honest...

If you're dumb enough to drink bleach under any circumstance, you deserve to not be among us. darwinism to the highest degree

A third is really too much! Scary. How's this possible? I don't want to believe it

To be honest, dilute Clorox in bath water is a great treatment for eczema

That would be the third that still likes Trump!

That's fracked up

Please tell me that’s NOT true!

CNN should be held accountable for their half truths in a court of law along with all news media’s that bend the facts to support their narrative.

One third?! ONE THIRD?! We’re fucking doomed.

Well you made them think their lives were in grave danger so...

Fake news.

Get out of town ...there is NO WAY Americans are that dumb hmmm

You can thank trump for that

CNN is going

News flash: A third of Americans listen to CNN. Must be some correlation between stupid behavior. FoxNews JesseBWatters jaketapper greggutfeld brianstelter TheFive BrookeBCNN ChrisCuomo DanaPerino donlemon

His idea

Just WOW! 😬

The biggest problem area was people's limited understanding about how to prepare cleaning solutions.

Seem riots and protesters agenda has failed; now cnn has embarked on CDC and Covid again. To majority Covid is dead agenda better look for something-else. your failing big-time.

& 100% of them were Trump supporters. Dumbasses. Smh.

🤦🏽‍♂️

Wash hands like this, not that. Clean like this, not that. Use this soap, not that kind. Stay in, go out. Stand over here, not there. Wear a mask, masks are useless. Take this drug, not that drug. Listen to him, not him. This store good, that store bad. Enough please.

Chris Cuomo wife said she did that after she caught corona

Not of the people that use Clorox to clean but the ones that supposedly gargle or drink it.

VoteTrumpOut2020

The Venn diagram of those people and Trump supporters is a circle.

I believe they got this from Cuomo’s wife... you know, the one who bathed in bleach

Bring on the location, hospitals, and number of people. If not, it’s just cheap propaganda.

Unbelievable morons...

No doubt, all republicans 😀😀😀😀

You can’t say listen to democrats is risky

And they all vote.

Weird that's about the same number in Trumps base 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

According to a study by

All becouse of Trump

Thanks tRump.

Gotta be Trump supporters.

I mean.. honestly.. if they did this.. what did there really to say.

Let them all get poisoned for being stupid!

Calling BS...

Commander in chief told them to

You all are seriously stupid if you believe this

Americans arent always the brightest or most rational you know

You really are becoming a satire site

Trumpers are listening to bunker king?

wonder who that third of the population is...

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Bullshit fakenews

This is bad 👎👎👎

Same CNN followers who did the Tide Pod challenge.

All those people are Trump disciples, clearly.

The great mass of our uneducated trumpers ...

A third of Americans are dumber than door posts. Apologies to all of the door posts out there. No offense meant.

Those are probably the same people who support Trump.

FakeNews maybe SleepyJoe did though. 😂

I honestly can't believe this. It sounds too ridiculous. Who were the people surveyed? Anybody in their right mind knows not to use bleach as a food or medicine. Don't they?

Thinning out the gene pool one gargle at a time. Deplorables.

1/3rd...

How many stuck a UV light up their ass ..

Did that same one third get the idea from CNN?

No need it’s not a deadly virus.

Bleach in food? Where can I find recipes?

omfg

MAGAs blindly following Der Leader

Educational level?

...and, they vote

Lol. Well , look at ur own Chris Cuomo’s wife. Bathing in bleach water. People are so selfish I tell yah , it’s all about them.

Every time CNN post.. Trump gains another vote.. keep up the good work 👏

The democratic voter base

MAGA lol

About a third, ya say? Remind me what BunkerBoy's approval rating is ...

That third of Americans are TRUMPETS! TrumpLovesBleach

Let them

Trump’s Kool-Aid!

This bull shit, more Chinese propaganda to switch blame from China to America. Chinese government has taken over CNN news.

Please stop doing this don’t listen to White Trash Trump he is no doctor! Vote Democrat’s on November 3rd!

are they doing covid-19 an actual favor by killing themselves before the virus gets to them?

Blame Trumpfor suggesting it!

So is it safe to say that the survivors of that third will be voting for trump? Asking for America...

Come on......this is fake news at the highest level. CNN is the absolute worst!

Please tell me that 1/3rd of the people polled on this aren’t that stupid 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

Well that's too bad. Hopefully they learned something

Hearing of a spike in sales of portable UV Lights as well.

Its not just black and white,every lives matters

A third of people surveyed. Ok so how many were surveyed? 3? From where? I dont know anyone that has been surveyed and they dont know anyone surveyed....

Here come spin act

You neglect education for decades, well, this is one of the risks. Imagine all the other risks.

The wife of one of your anchors bathed in bleach

That because these fools listen to dumb Donald

Doctor Game Show Has Misinformed Thousands Of Americans

They are called Trump supporters.

I was polled and said 'yes', just because.❄️

Must be all Democrats!

Not as risky as going downtown and rioting shoulder to shoulder and passing a megaphone around though right?

Guarantee you these weren’t people who actually listened to POTUS, but victims of his detractors who pushed a false narrative

1/3 of Americans putting their lives at risk? 1/3? Wow! That’s a lot of people. StayInSchool and learn

FakeNews

Seriously? Trump is a dangerous man

Darwin is laughing 😆

We need to bring back mental asylums and shock therapy.

Ah the trailer trash rednecks never fail to show there stupidity

This is how stupid believes you all are. They actually put this story out for consumption. No pun intended. really Is the enemy.

Can’t fix stupid

About the same percentage of Americans support the President. Coincidence?

realDonaldTrump well done you 🧠 less dunce.

And you wonder why some Americans fall behind in a changing world...

They’re trumpenjo followers.

Natural selection

And we owe this to Doctor Trump .... the guy is a real danger

Dumb very dumb

Perhaps you should be asking the wife of ChrisCuomo, she was one that used Clorox inappropriately for Covid-19

Thanks very much, realDonaldTrump. A corrupt, inept pathological liar who completely mismanaged the COVID19 response, endangering people who listened to him, slowing response drastically costing thousands of lives. Not to mention to FUBARd response to legitimate protests.

FAKE NEWS

Trump supporting idiots.

Clorox will not whiten skin, so civil disobedience seems to be the only answer.

Anyone who gargled with bleach or ingested it isn’t going to be participating in your dam survey so stop with the fake news already. How about you do an article on how to safely disinfect your home? Evidently that’s the news that’s needed.

Cleaning supplies made in China, no supply. We need to bring back our medication, and other major supplies made in China

I'm surprised you didn't tag this on Trump. Well, maybe in the sequel. Anyone who ingests, gargles with or uses bleach for cleansing their body, needs psychiatric evaluation and treatment. Not kidding!

There goes the media telling us how not to use bleach!! SAD

'And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs.' ~ Donald J Trump

Darwinism...that’s all I have to say

Follow and Comment this TrumpKiller

Thats bcz we have a CDC and pannel of experts who r scared of Trump to their core so they did not corrected Trump at the very moment he suggeted to us cleaning agents to fight covid19. Bunch of chicken who r afraid Trump to fire them.

I’ve been drinking Clorox for a week now...I feel...I ffff....I...

Your right there is no cure for stupid. However it didn't help that the President said that and he really mean it. We all not to take any medical advice from the President. But I am sure he will take no responsibly.

Then left side of an intelligence bell curve.....everyone can be smart, but does i cant believe one third od people can be that dumb

Including Cuomo’s wife (and he works for CNN)

Survey says....CNN viewers

Morons

Is this the 15% Biden is referring to?

Good, weed them out. Let Darwin work

Yeah maybe cleaning the counter fake news

~ but we can trust them to vote intelligently.😳

hehetwofour

hehetwofour

The CDC’s credibility is almost as bad these days.

Sounds a bit high, even for Americans 😐

CNN has no factual evidence of this statement. Lemon’s every other word last 3 nights were “Trump is pushing to be dictator”. Evidence CNN rec’d leaks from crooked FBI agents & Weissmann so they would knowingly use false slanderous stories about Trump for 3 years. FBI Wray truth?

It’s because the cleaners were quarantined and people who never clean had to learn

I hope they’re all chump stuporters.

I’m going to be provocative tonight and use antibacterial cleaner on my counter top... I’m sassy that way

hehetwofour

Wahoos probably drinking it.

Stop it, the h0ax is over...on tot he next one

About a third voted for Trump as well.

I truly didn't realize that high percentage of our population was that dumb

Yes many more people using Clorox or Lysol to clean

Does rioting count as “risky”?

Bullshit

Nope not in my house or work we weren’t scared by the fake plandemic

That would be Trump’s base right, about a 1/3

You have got to be kidding? WHY? only because a pathological liar tells them to do so?

Well , jipk looks we’res the boll, meaby must somwere. But you sow it. Got be there.

Twist just a pinch seem to work. Many, many people have taken advantage of Clorox on all surfaces it was used to destroy the virus. But I bet if your willing to look deeper the surprise will be there. Do they hate Clorox at CNN?

We’ve got some “Ridley cleaning” practices going on here😱

CNN = dumpster fire

Journalism at its worst

Not me but I comply even with scientist

Idiots

Bullshit! Prove it!!

FridayRevivalService The message of Corona virus is repentance. Prepare the way. The Messiah is coming.
