Accidental poisonings from bleach and other disinfectants spiked amid coronavirus

17. Well, I assume people aren't careful, and are ...

... a little inexperienced with using it. Maybe they leave it on the counter and a child takes a swig. Maybe they’re cleaning overhead and it spills in their face. Maybe it splashed into their face/mouth when they dropped the bucket.

Before all of this, there was a number of accidental poisonings. Since March, that number has shot up. That necessarily means that accidental events took place before the pandemic, right? However these accidental poisonings occurred back then, we now simply have a lot more of them because a lot more people are using such cleaners, and are using them more frequently.

Again, I’m not defending the orange hitler’s comments. They were off the chart stupid. But reading something into these stats that really isn’t there is also not a good look for our side. We’re supposed to be the smart guys.
