Yes, the headline is “Outcry after Trump suggests injecting disinfectant as treatment” when it should be “Outcry after Trump suggests something like injecting disinfectant as treatment” but as we all know sometimes the editors have the difficult task of removing important words to fit the text into the confines of the web site.

The President should know by now, nearly four years after his election, that he is going to be misreported and misrepresented. Why give the critics any ammunition? There’s a Doctor on the White House staff. Why not check with him before saying anything that can be twisted by The Swamp?
DJT can be his own worst enemy at times. Bojo is a bit similar.
Any politician of a conservative, Conservative, republican, Republican or GOP stripe should now realise that ‘the opposition’ and ‘the media’ and ‘State employees’ no longer recognise the result of an election if they, their side, do not win and gain power. Thus, Republican Presidents and Conservative Party Prime Ministers are going to face five years of lies and subterfuge and distortions and attacks not just from opposing politicians but from supposedly neutral State employees and a supposedly neutral media, especially the BBC. Sgt Phil is back.

The difference between Trump and most politicians is that he thinks and talks ‘from the hip’, like most normal people. Normal people recognise that and make allowances. (Imagine the hell it would be if our family, friends and workmates took what we say literally all the time).
Probably driven by ‘gotcha’ journalists, most politicians avoid questions that they aren’t prepared for and answer questions that they are prepared for in the prepared for way, answers often not written by them anyway. It’s like a game of Mornington Crescent, everyone knows what the outcome is going to be before they start, just don’t stand on the cracks or you are ‘out’!
Trump is never going to win over those in the media that thought he shouldn’t have been elected but their howls just confirm to those who voted for Trump that they were right to do so.
If only we had politicians who are prepared to say to The Guardian and its mates in the BBC, “Do you know what? You guys are idiots, you are wrong, and if we did what you demand you would be back again tomorrow with fresh demands. You know and I know that nothing I do will make you like me, the feeling is mutual. Now go away and only come back once you have grown-up!”

I think he’s subtly baiting them. He knows that they will distort or embroider anything he says and this ‘disinfectant’ issue was easily distorted. But the balance of opinion focuses on exactly what he said thus highlighting the Fake news once again. He’s chipping away at any support the MSM and, not forgetting our, “Worlds Most Trusted”, have got left. Long may it continue I say.

I was looking yesterday at some of the articles in
our house which were made and exported from China. From
tee shirts and caps to electrical appliances. These exports
have brought China out of the third world into now one
of the two most powerful economic power houses in the world.
Yesterday I packaged some very important prescription
medicines to my son who is stuck in Portugal. I was very very
careful with the packaging.
I very much expect that the Chinese communist party were not
so careful with their biggest ever EXPORT to the rest of the world.
An export which most likely will make them by far numero uno
for the economic title.
Just comparatively few cases of the virus and deaths in China, why is this? Of course they are lying . But we see THEIR supposed rates on the charts every day. Maybe there is another reason?
Early on were those with a temperature and a cough were encouraged
to fly off. on a holiday to all corners of particularly the economic

When the furore around insufficient ventilators first came up I commented on a Torygraph article that a CPAP might be useful.
I have atrial fibrillation, courtesy of a onetime 18 inch neck from playing hooker, not much smaller nowadays, the consequent snoring, sleep apnea eventually and the heart problem of a-fib, and I use a CPAP every night. Some of the ventilator models proposed to address the ventilator shortage used modified CPAP’s. The Cheshire hospital discovery that a CPAP means that the invasive nature of a ventilator can be avoided, particularly as we now know that their use can be fatal.
I’m as pleased as nine pence that ‘er indoors and I can perhaps use my machine should we ever succumb to Covid 19 at home.

Peter, yes use that CPAP and facial nebulisers as well as things like ‘the recovery position’ which minimises heart stress. Had President Trump spoken with the White House Physician before his conference about understanding the nature of the lung, the heart and the blood stream, he might not be having his words twisted by the main stream marxist media this morning.
Thinking about it, the doctors and nurses around the globe are in an Apollo 13 situation with Covid-19. It’s exactly the same problem: keeping people breathing for a recovery. That demands the same measured, careful thinking: ‘What can we try?’
I do despair at times at the stupidity of politicians but, on the other hand, it is not easy when under various pressures and questions are sprung on you by broadcast journalists and answers are expected on life, the universe, the number 42 and everything.
My last GP was really good and would take time (despite the 15 minutes appointment pressure) to explain everything, even drawing little helpful sketches – from memory! – of what would, I guess, be found on pages of Grey’s Anatomy.

“……..on the other hand, it is not easy when under various pressures and questions are sprung on you by broadcast journalists and answers are expected on life, the universe, the number 42 and everything.”
Come now, its just that, post “sprung” question that the Marxist interviewer relishes. It’s that point just following the “sprung” question posed when the interviewee speaks words to fill the split second of time he/she needs to collect his/her thoughts to create a cautious/noncommittal reply that the Marxist Newsies use to interrupt – at that critical point – because they know the audience would see the part/preparatory gibberish response as being issued by a bumbling idiot who seems not to know what they are doing/talking about. The professionals I’ve seen speaking understand the vulnerability at that split second in time and will remain absolutely silent whilst contemplating their response. If, at that point, the interviewer interjects before the interviewee has a chance to respond, it will never look good for the interviewer and the tables can be reversed.
Jordan Petersen is quite masterful in handling that, split second gap.

What’s the difference between a respirator and a ventilator?
2 likes
Courtesy of Wiki.
“A respirator is a device designed to protect the wearer from inhaling hazardous atmospheres, including fumes, vapours, gases and particulate matter such as dusts and airborne microorganisms.”
“A ventilator is a machine that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently. ..Ventilators are sometimes called “respirators”, a term commonly used for them in the 1950s (particularly the “Bird respirator”). However, contemporary hospital and medical terminology uses the word “respirator” to refer to a protective face-mask.”
“Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure ventilator, which applies mild air pressure on a continuous basis. It keeps the airways continuously open in people who are able to breathe spontaneously on their own, but need help keeping their airway unobstructed. It is an alternative to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). “

The Tories are I’m afraid proving what I said at the time of the election – that they are cowardly useless and incompetent to be absolutely true.
They are allowing the narrative of the media over the EU procurement initiative which as anyone would suspect would have been a failure.
Like many cowards they are bullies, attacking the civil servant who said it was a political decision.
In my opinion a party of integrity with a backbone would have stood up and shamed the Devil !
The EU initiative was not supported by France and Germany who would have quite happily taken UK medical equipment whilst continuing with their policy of not supplying anything outside their own borders. The EU procurement would have left the UK in a worse position that it currently is, but the cowardly useless incompetent Tories are incapable of telling the truth about this.
Up to date the EU has supplied absolutely nothing, because other member countries all want supplies but don’t want to give away what they have.
Another issue arising is that the cowardly useless incompetent Tories despite admitting that the peak of the virus is past, and that the NHS is managing to cope and the Nightingale hospitals are not needed, is about to order tens of thousands of ventilators which are never ever going to be needed, wating millions of pounds of taxpayers money. Unless the machines are voltage switchable to 110V we won’t be able to palm them off on the Americans either!

Mr Phillips was referring to recent research ( Newcastle) . The BBC portrayed the non white NHS staff as ‘ doing jobs more likely to get the bug ‘ however mr Phillips pointed out that the research found that non white were more likely to get it ‘ in the community ‘
I could almost hear the editor screaming into the Beeboids ear ‘ change the subject’ – which of course / she did –

Up2snuff,
I’m NOT suggesting anyone should try this at home (unless there is an extreme emergency).
From the US Environmental Protection Agency –
Disinfect water using household bleach, if you can’t boil water. Only use regular, unscented chlorine bleach products that are suitable for disinfection and sanitization as indicated on the label. The label may say that the active ingredient contains 6 or 8.25% of sodium hypochlorite. Do not use scented, color safe, or bleaches with added cleaners. If water is cloudy, let it settle and filter it through a clean cloth, paper towel, or coffee filter.
They then advise 6 drops of 8.25% of sodium hypochlorite in 1 gallon of water. (So yes, it is very dilute bleach).

TM, that’s getting a bit homeopathic! But yes, you can use it for water purification in extreme circumstances. It is available in tablet form, iirc, – camping shops sell the tablets – and the military use it that way. Sphagnum moss is good for water purification if you have some to hand and the time and containers available.
If you are that worried about germs in the mouth and throat, try gargling with mouth wash or TCP diluted according to instructions. Sir Joseph Lister would prefer that. If you are friendly with a dentist, then the mouth wash tablets they use are good for treating sore throats. Gargle and spit, though, do not drink.
Neat bleach is likely to burn your osephagus, cause intestinal and stomach damage and finish you off far faster than neat disinfectant – probably.
St Paul’s advice to Timothy still holds good for intestinal germs “Take a little wine for your stomach’s sake.” (1 Timothy 5v23) … he may have been passing on good Dr Luke’s advice. 😉

This is list of commonly used disinfectants which is group term not a singular item..
Alcohols, Chlorine compounds Example:Household Bleach,Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Phenolics Examples:Carbolic soap; Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide
Some are already known to kill virus’s and bacteria – not saying you should use these but simply it is a good rationale to do research – which I think is all POTUS was saying
The press, like most people, probably think of disinfectant as just what they put down drains….and the use of UV light for killing bacteria and virus’s is already in existence..

JA, don’t forget vinegar a form of wine alcohol and acetic (lemon juice) and other acids. Do not use any of these other than vinegar, wine & spirits and lemon juice and then in limited doses and not if you have pre-existing conditions. Check with your GP, the practice nurse or a pharmacist first.
Thing is the osephagus and trachea are different. The media’s distortion of what President Trump was implying or wishing for out loud is very dangerous. There has already been a fatality and a second hospitalisation in California thanks to MSM distortion of his previous comments about hydroxychloroquine.
Think President Trump was hoping for something to disinfect the lungs of the virus. That’s dangerous, partly because of the way this particular virus is thought to work, attaching itself to the bronchial tubes and possibly the bronchioles. Also, human physique separates food & drink from air to the lungs but not everyone will know that. Someone fearful of Covid-19 might try taking a dose of disinfectant thinking it might prevent catching the virus but all it will do is – at best – destroy the good gut bacteria essential for healthy living.
I do wish POTUS had spoken to the White House doctor before going on record.
Unfortunately, the damage is done.

This analysis points to three main conclusions: –
Brussels’ root objective in the negotiations is to entangle Britain in a neo-colonial trading relationship and to prevent the British economy being seen to prosper after Brexit.
To veil this objective, Brussels hides behind a cry for “level playing field,” a camouflaged weapon in a campaign of entanglement.
Pursuing that campaign, Brussels and its British allies [WE KNOW WHO] seek to spin out and complicate the negotiating process. This is the aim of their campaign to prolong the negotiating timetable. To understand this is to understand why it must be resisted.

There is even a headline on the BBC stating a leading bleach manufacturer has issued a warning not to use its products on the human body.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52411706
I mean. Seriously? WTF?
Trump is clearly referring to UV light. His comments relate to recent data indicators from the US. SunLight does degrade many other virus’, the problem we have on this virus is lack of data. That is it!
He uses the word ‘disinfectant’ in a generic sense around ‘killing’ the virus. He is clearly linking-in with different ideas around the UV study to irradiate the virus. in no way does he suggest ‘drink bleach’!
Headlines like, ‘Trump suggests injection of disinfectant’ or ‘Trump asks if disinfectant could be used as Covid 19 treatment’ are simply ludicrous.
It’s like ‘Liberal bingo’ every time he speaks as MSM predictably tick every hate box or twist every meaning. As he would put it. Fake News.
I think they convince nobody and only entrench people further into their political bunkers.
Incidentally, if someone does watch his ‘disinfectant statement’ and subsequently drink bleach, then the world has one less idiot in it.

I think the scurrilous, thinly-veiled Labour/bbc narrative that BAME are being sent into the frontline to die in the battle against the virus, presumably by whitee, could backfire on Sir Keir, not only in the North.
Doreen Lawrence is bad news. More than 20 years ago her son was killed, and that is terrible. However, I remember a picture of him showing a black power salute, so I wonder what led to the attack. (The picture quickly disappeared). Years of publicity followed the incident, which will now be dragged up again. She exploited the issue to the maximum, got a peerage, and is now back on the scene to make more mischief.
I mention this because I was once mugged by a black person, who smashed me over the head with a brick. When the police asked me if I wanted to lay a charge, I declined, feeling that I was lucky to be alive. Forgiveness.
I now think I should have pursued the issue with all vigour.

Interestingly, “Stephen Lawrence Day” is 22nd April, commemorating his murder by stabbing in 1993; this is now over 27 years ago. The expression “institutional racism” came to public attention as a result of the inquiry into how the police investigated the killing. Whether this anniversary made it more likely that Doreen Lawrence would be asked to look into BAME deaths during the Covid-19 crisis, I know not.
The racialisation of the crisis is typical cultural Marxism: never waste an opportunity to stir trouble but with your eye always on the main goal, not the particular issue, i.e. gaining political power.

But, a bystander flagged down somebody’s Jag, which I bled all over, to take me to hospital. (This was before mobiles). I was in shock, so never got to thank whoever that was, so here is yet another opportunity. I’d hate to think what it cost him to clean up his car.
I was in my best suit, so that was a write-off, too.
Regrettably, your analysis is probably pretty accurate. That is what irritates me: my guess is that Doreen’s real motive has not a lot to do with justice, and that she should examine her heart. She and Keir are embarking on a little war that will rake up the past and cause more ill feeling between ‘communities’, when everyone is already very stressed.
It seems very irresponsible to drag race into this pandemic, to say the least. But Labour and the bbc never fail to disappoint. Like Doreen, Starmer strikes me as someone very committed to a certain agenda; it doesn’t bode well.

Brissles,
Ah yes! those were the days when we had law and order. No longer. One ‘law’ for one group, another ‘law’ for another. Mostly all to do with whims of our, waste of space, ‘boys in blue’. Even they no longer have the respect of the public. That ‘bond’ they believe they have with the public, is long gone.
Still think that there will be a massive civil uprising in the not too distant future. That’ll sure cause a ‘reboot’ with any luck.

Meanwhile business (ie crime) as usual for some:
Police break up traveller funeral as mourners flout social distancing rules after they demand body back from the undertaker – and drive it to church in back of a Transit van
About 60 grievers – some swigging beer – moved on by Bedfordshire Police at Dunstable Cemetery at 10am
The group was blatantly flouting government lockdown rules on social distancing – brought in to tackle Covid
The morgue that was holding the woman’s body told travellers they would not release it on Wednesday night
But the group is alleged to have threatened to burn down the establishment if they did not let them have it
Before the funeral, the coffin was put in a van and driven 25 miles from Sandy to Dunstable with its doors open
En route to the burial site, one of the Ford Focuses in the procession reportedly tried to catch up with the others and went the wrong way around a roundabout.
It was said to have smashed into an oncoming car, but allegedly drove off and only stopped further down the road when it broke down.

Just had a thought.
Is the lockdown strategy of the West a form of ‘Neo-colonialism’?
We are attempting to save, say, 50,000 of our elderly and vulnerable, whilst probably condemning to death perhaps 10 times that many through poverty in the 3rd world.
Wonder what liberals and snowflakes would make of that?

We could save a whole load of our own citizens, if we didn’t keep bunging millions of notes to the despots, dictators, politicians etc in fourth-world shite-hole countries, who just steal it for themselves.
Why my taxes shoved to these arseholes, and the BBC for that matter, are needed for such a waste of Great Britain’s assets is way beyond me.
But there again, I’m a normal Brit, and obeys orders, or plod comes running…

You’ll never find out what Starmer wants, as he doesn’t have a clue either!
No doubt the awful BBC will give him a few hints, and a clear run at any interview, but already, he is proving to be a fading shadow of a real ‘leader’, and probably is the best numpty to see off the labour party for the next several elections!
The bloke really is a tosser!

Grumbler – I’m a member of thr ‘ surely ‘ school . When you see something happen ( which shouldn’t ) you find yourself saying “ surely someone would thought that through or don’t something before hand? “
ThE ‘ surely school ‘ is related to ‘Professor Hindsite ‘
And surely some one some where has done a piece on what the effect of locking up an entire country for a couple of months …?
But I think not ….
The thread is heavy so to lighten the load I’m going to put up the new thread ….

Ian Katz of course now working his special magic at another failing broadcaster, but his legacy at the BBC lives on in all they have achieved for Remain and Labour.

Local ITV news : it’s the long Ramadan item.
Previous item was about 300 people living in a tower block
which had an interview with a white father.
And then a staged bit where the reporter spoke into his phone on the street, whilst the camera focused on a headscarfed woman on her balcony who spoke her answers into her photo.
Item before that
Clapping for NHS : which focused on the family ofthe black nurse that died.
bit of sport .. maybe Indian cricketer
Now it’s the Colonel Tom item
where little Emily is copying him by raising money for the NHS.

Sopel says President Trump pontificates. Pot, kettle.
But, as expected, he has patched together the extracts he wants on bbc tv1 news to support his regular anti-Trump narrative.
Having said that, it’s not wise for a President to think out loud/speculate, as it’s exactly what the Sopels of this world are waiting for. After all, he knows the ‘beauties’ are out there, eager for any little scrap to manipulate…
