CNN: Illinois reports significant increase in calls to poison control in the last two days

There has been a significant increase in calls to poison control in the state of Illinois in the last two days, Illinois Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said during a Saturday afternoon press conference.

Such calls included someone using a detergent based solution for a sinus rinse and another person gargling with a bleach and mouthwash mixture to kill germs, Ezike said.

She urged people to not use cleaning chemicals to try and kill the virus.

I thought every parent who has had a toddler had common sense enough to know what POISON is. That's why you keep certain POISONS, (warning: do not ingest) locked up and out of the way when they are toddling around.

So, considering that, what I am saying is that I certainly hope these people that have no common sense about POISON are not parents because that's like parenting 101.

are no better than he is, full of hate and everything that goes with it. All they seem to do is want to see the country crash and burn, these are selfish people, who want chaos as much as he does.

If anyone listens to Randi Rhodes she mentioned to those who are running around passing the virus to others, to put DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) on their chest, give up their care to a hospital bed, and wear a cow bell around their necks, or as they say running around give me liberty or give me death. Be my guest. Cause they can't oblige the laws of staying in.

These people that think the virus is a hoax and deny it exists are taking something they think will prevent them from getting the same virus they tell people is a hoax? Evidently they don't think it's a hoax if they're trying the stuff Trump is suggesting.

Trump insisted he was just being sarcastic. (Saw the video. No, he wasn't.) He will also insist he's not responsible for his supporters not understanding sarcasm.

Now he's taking a break from press conferences, probably so he can work on his next attempt at a cure. I'm guessing lasers. "Pew, pew, pew! Shoot the viruses with lasers . . . from inside the body. You can do that. What have you got to lose?"
