Protect your overall health, turn off Trump.

We should cast him in total shadow along with his band of pirates, at least until we can send them to prison.

But yes Streeting is correct. After all, why should I take medical advice from a guy who considered injecting disinfectant would cure COVID.

He suggested BLEACH.
Household bleach not only has a pH of around 12, but liberates radical chlorine.
Household disinfectants don't have a super high pH & the chlorine lability is far lower.
We still can't inject it, but what he blathered was far more dangerous.
