Not The Onion

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Americans appear to be losing faith in what President Donald Trump says about the coronavirus pandemic, with almost everyone rejecting Trump’s remark that COVID-19 may be treated by injecting infected people with bleach or other disinfectants, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.

The April 27-28 public opinion poll found that fewer than half of all adults in the U.S. - 47% - said they were “very” or “somewhat” likely to follow recommendations Trump makes about the virus. That is 15 percentage points lower than the number who said they would follow Trump’s advice in a survey that ran at the end of March.

And 98% of Americans said they would not try to inject themselves with bleach or other disinfectants if they got the coronavirus, including 98% of Democrats and 98% of Republicans. That is a near-unanimous rejection of an idea that Trump floated at a time of widespread anxiety about the virus.

3. What's really scary here...

...is that 2 percent of the country WOULD inject themselves with bleach.

4. What about the other 2%?

The adult population of the US is about 210 million, so hypothetically there are 4,200,000 who would inject themselves with bleach. That's a shit-ton of stupid.

5. Yikes that is

Tragic. I wonder when they answered the survey did they answer that question in
