On Tuesday, Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura said a study showed a smaller viral load in the saliva of 41 patients with mild symptoms after regular gargling with a medicine infused with povidone-iodine solution than in those who had not. The shares were down 4% on Wednesday, but more than 1.2 million tweets had employed the hashtag #Isojin by afternoon.

Osaka Governor misinterpreted a study showing a smaller viral load in the saliva of COVID-19 patients after gargling with povidone-iodine solution & said “We can overcome the coronavirus.” Of course, however, it just reduced the virus in the oral cavity temporarily. イソジン吉村

政治家に踊らされる、バカな国民としか思えません(-_-)

Remember how some ppl said 'high obedience of Japanese people' have slowed the spread of COVID-19? Here's the catch: Japanese people do whatever they're told to do, even if it's obviously wrong and false. Because Japanese people don't have the brains to 'think' before you act.

mas__yamazaki I'm embarrassed as a person who once lived in Osaka.
