Trump's Suggestions On National TV - UNRELIABLE?
Hello Guys!
Today lets talk something serious!
Last night on 23rd April 2020 (Thursday), the White House Coronavirus Task Force held a briefing, where an official presented a US government research regarding the life of coronavirus droplets in Saliva and respiratory fluids. Based on this research, Donald Trump made a "SUGGESTION".
According to the research, the virus droplets best survive in indoors with lesser humidity for an hour, while outside for a minute and a half. The research mentions that increasing temperature and humidity of contaminated indoor spaces, and extra care of the dry environments that are not exposed to solar lights, will help to reduce the stability of the virus.
The research also shows that disinfectants like bleach and isopropyl alcohol can kill the virus droplets present in the saliva or respiratory fluids sooner. According to the research, bleach kills the virus within five minutes while isopropyl alcohol can kill it in thirty seconds without any manipulation i.e. no rubbing is required only spraying will take this much time, and if rubbing is done that it will take even lesser time to destroy the virus.
Following this, Trump suggested that injecting UV or powerful light, and disinfectants inside the human body might clean the virus inside them. Though he added a hell lot of "MAYBE", he was on National TV.
This Suggestion has created a tense environment among medical experts.
Doctors or Scientists never share their research in a press conference, until its test results are fully effective because no one knows how the mind of people work when they hear a "SUGGESTION" by a reputed person working on that particular field. Some people even read fake WhatsApp messages and believe it - this suggestion was aired on a National Tv, with tremendous viewers.
I think Trump did not learn from his past experience.
His last intervention calling anti-malarial drug chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as "game-changers" during a press conference, a couple in Arizona, being afraid of falling sick, self-medicated themselves with chloroquine phosphate, which cost the wife her husband.
Suggestions until potentially tested should not be announced on National TV, moreover, people should get rid of the habit that anyone can be a doctor as they have the internet to research for.
Taking medicine without a doctor's prescription is dangerous, as you don't know your medical conditions, your allergies to chemicals. Even a doctor tells you to get a test done to check the symptoms of a disease, as inner body reactions can't be judged by your outer body behavior. Also, in some cases, doctors check where the antibiotics that need to be injected in you, suit your body or not by doing a trial before the full injection.
Check with the Doctors before taking any medicine. No one can tell you, what is your blood group by just seeing your hand.
Hope you Stay Safe and Stay Alert.
