Where would anyone get that idea? I wonder. >> I see the disinfectant 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 gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number in the lung. So it be interesting to check that almost a cleaning and sterilisation of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't work, but it certainly has a big effect if it's on the stationary object. Now, I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen. But I was asking it sarcastically in a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it and it would kill it on the hands and that would make things much better. That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters. >> So this has really led to dozens of people literally consuming bleach and other disinfectants because they think that it's actually gonna help cure them from Coronavirus. We're seeing reports from Texas and Georgia, let's start with Texas. Following 46 cases of bleach ingestions in the North Texas poison center region since the start of August. Meaning this month, just this month 46 people this month in North Texas alone. Experts are again warning people that drinking the chemical won't prevent COVID-19. Christina Holloway, who serves as the education manager for the North Texas Poison Center, said the following. We certainly are not used to seeing bleach ingestion, so it's not like this was a problem before Trump, at least that frequently in such a short amount of time. And we do know in general this year compared to last, we're seeing a whole lot more of bleach exposures. The FDA, and I can't believe that this needs to be reported, but it is. The FDA has long warned that drinking chlorine dioxide products can lead to severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration, and acute liver failure. But Texas isn't the only state that's experiencing this. Just recently, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia had to issued a statement urging people to stop drinking bleach. Here's a part of his statement where he says chlorine dioxide is a bleach like cleaning agent and if ingested, can have severe adverse health effects, including death. >> A lot of people were debating whether Trump should be wearing a mask, or talking about a national mask mandate. And some on the left were like, well, his supporters, that they don't wanna wear masks anyways. No, they'll do whatever he says, they'll pretty much do whatever he says. And him wearing a mask if he were to be pushing it if he were to be talking about social distancing on a regular basis. It really could have made an untold difference in terms of lives saved and costs and the economy and everything. But again, the theme that I keep coming back to you with him is all he cares about is the marketing of the pandemic, how it reflects on him personally, and his presidency. It's all a marketing arm of Trump incorporated. So it's put out this fire, put out this fire, put out this fire as opposed to, addressing the pandemic. And two is that he can't think long term he has something wrong with his frontal lobe, he cannot, well maybe that's not the right lobe, and I shouldn't say that. >> Girl, what you can go ahead and critique every single lobe in that head of his because each one of them has an issue so. >> Yeah. >> Frontal lobe, yeah, go ahead. >> Lots of limpy lobes in Trump's brain. >> Yeah, there's just not much going on up there, so he cannot think long term. And he can't think maybe if I just weather this and push mask wearing or stop telling people to drink bleach, then wow maybe Coronavirus could be defeated. And then I could get reelected, but no, he doesn't think that way. He just thinks of it- >> No' he doesn't. >> In terms of addressing the next immediate problem and usually quite badly.
