Call any poison control hotline and they’ll tell you the same thing: don’t drink or inject disinfectant, regardless of what U.S.
President Donald Trump says on TV. Emergency hotlines in multiple states have reportedly received hundreds of calls from people asking about using disinfectant to counter the coronavirus after Trump openly wondered if it was a good idea at a press briefing.
It was a terrible idea, as health experts universally pointed out after the fact. Nevertheless, the Republican governor of Maryland and the Democratic governor of Michigan say “hundreds” of people called state hotlines to ask about the idea, which Trump floated while attempting to guess a cure to COVID-19 last week.
