12. Oh, I guess the Blue Ridge Poison Control Center just issued a random statement

From the article (emphasis added):

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WSET) — The Blue Ridge Poison Center in Charlottesville is asking people not to drink bleach to try and prevent COVID-19 infections.

They said there is a lot of confusing, incomplete and inaccurate information circulating about how to prevent coronavirus from spreading, including drinking bleach which is dangerous and could cause serious injury. Moreover, it will not prevent a coronavirus infection.


Maybe it was the BRPCC that went back in time to issue this statement which Weartv reported on March 13? Or maybe it was Weartv that time-traveled? Or BRPCC made the statement pre-emptively in case Trump said something stupid five weeks later? I appreciate your attempt at putting words in my post that aren't there, but I never said the increase in reports of bleach poisoning was all due to Trump's statement on April 23. I guess you just needed to call someone stupid today.
