Two men in Georgia drank disinfectants in efforts to prevent COVID-19, officials say

Quote
Officials say two men in Georgia who have suffered from psychiatric problems ingested household chemicals in an effort to protect themselves against COVID-19, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Gaylord Lopez, director of the Georgia Poison Center, told the newspaper that a man was hospitalized on Saturday after he claimed to have ingested 16 ounces of bleach in a bid “to prevent COVID.”
...
The director said another man had also been hospitalized after drinking Pine-sol mixed with mouthwash, beer and pain medication.

It’s unclear, Lopez said, whether the two men had tried ingesting the cleaners after listening to remarks President Trump made about disinfectants at a press conference last week.

The report could have left out the last line about Trump.  The two men are stupid.  Period.  Drinking bleach?  Seriously?  Pine-sol??  I'd say that they aren't just stupid, they are in need of some psychiatric help.

Well, I am glad the Hill mentioned there is uncertainty as to a correlation between Trump's remarks and these idiotic actions.  Most other media would try to tie these cases to Trump whether it was legitimate to do so or not.  The Hill was fair in that regard, IMO.

And as the article pointed out, the two men had mental health issues.  And I would expect alcoholic libation paid a part in this too.

Just wait.  The Bigs haven't gotten their hands on the story yet.  By the time they get it, the story will be Trump murdered these two (even though they are still alive.  Details, details!), as if he pulled the trigger himself.  You know, the way they did with the aquarium cleaner drinker guy in AZ.

If these men had psychological problems, is it not fair to posit that perhaps the media types who have been harping on the alleged claim that "Trump suggested inhaling Lysol" may have itself prompted these two to inhale Lysol?

I just don't understand what's the big deal's about. I consume disinfectants most every day. Doesn't everyone? Well I guess the tea toddlers don't ever consume the disinfectant, ethanol.

Sure, and there is something to what you say @jmyrlefuller .  Would these two men have heard about this if not for the news media's over-reaction?  However if you say the media are to blame because they made a big deal about how dangerous our President's words were, then should we not also talk about censoring the President's dangerous words?

When the harping media leads with "Officials say two men in Georgia who have suffered from psychiatric problems" I don't think they are unfairly blaming anyone.

Thanx for your comment.

Wait! They aren't dead, they just had to go get pumped out or something.

(That means they get to try something else dumb in the future)

I hope the hospitals didn't spend much time trying to save them. The world is a better place with them out of the gene pool.

Here's the original AJC story that The Hill story referenced:  https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional/men-drink-disinfectants-attempts-stop-coronavirus/uRsz2zLLhpqqOX2SjpEfjL/

And here is the part that The Hill left out:

Quote
Asked about Trump’s comments last week, Lopez lamented in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that too many people were interpreting news reports to mean that Trump had recommended injecting disinfectants, when in fact he was only asking questions about the possibility of such a treatment.
