On Saturday, he said, a man in his 50s living southwest of Atlanta was hospitalized after drinking several ounces of bleach to prevent Covid. He was moved to a psychiatric ward before being discharged.He said that he took 16 ounces, the director said. I dont know very many patients who will take 16 ounces, but then again, it is a psych history patient.
On Sunday, a man in his 30s who lives in the Atlanta area ingested a mixture of Pine-Sol, mouthwash, beer and pain medications. He also has since been discharged.

If they took chemicals, did they have any brain cells in the first place?

when he said it. I work in mental health and see patients after they have either
A. Consumed household cleaners in a suicide attempt
OR B
B. They were having a psychotic episode
He is so out of touch, so aloof, so ignorant that the thought never crossed his mind that he could be causing harm.
He is the poster child of the slogan " A mind is a terrible thing to waste" or " This is your brain on drugs"

Every grown man (they're always men, aren't they?) that truly believes that drinking clorox will make them immune to COVID-19 because Trump or Fox recommended it should immediately do so, and in great quantities. Preferably BEFORE the election.
