Wow. Kinda surprised to see a cartoon today, not only for its content but because Chip Bok is still there after drinking bleach and injecting himself with disinfectant. Maybe today’s cartoon is an anthology of his experience
Recipe for the Trump cocktail that will CURE YOU: Take 2 light bulbs, grind them to a chunky consistency, mix with 2 parts Lysol, and 2 parts Clorox, add a dash of Drano, and DRINK UP!!
Don’t know if anyone remembers the old cartoon show, Tennessee Tuxedo, but this administration reminds me a bit of Tennessee — if the penguin had been a malevolent narcissist.
Actually, I have a UV wand that one can use to sterilize stuff. I put new batteries in it after Trump said that, and now spend my day waving it over everything.
‘You’ve lost your mind’: Internet rips Trump for boasting COVID-19 pandemic is headed towards a ‘Miracle end’
Deprived of his daily press conferences where he battled with reporters for asking him tough questions, Donald Trump has retreated once again to his Twitter feed to boast and brag and attack.
Saturday morning, on the day after the death toll of the coronavirus pandemic broke 50,000, the president boasted that it is headed towards a “Miracle end.”
Gonna have one hell of an extension cord out there on the golf course. At least he can swap an Army dump truck for his golf cart to carry it. It will play even more hell with the greens than his cart. Pence will fix his divots?
First of all, this is something of limited use. It is intended for intubated patients — those who already have a large tube down their throat to the point where the airway passage splits to left and right lungs.
Will this help kill viruses in your lungs? Not at all likely.
Ever see how complex lungs are? They are that way to get the maximum area for absorption of oxygen (and emission of CO2) in that volume. This means that any light entering from above the lungs is going to be scattered or absorbed in a relatively small volume of the lungs. So the light will have only a small effect (unless the virus is close to the trachea).
It will also do nothing for the virus hiding out in your kidney, liver, heart, etc. which will enter the lungs through your bloodstream.
Is this totally useless? No, it has a use!
Infections from intubation are a problem. They tend to become focal spots for infection. So, using this UVA light on the tubes — which are generally of a transparent plastic, will help reduce the risk of infection in intubated patients.
So it is a good thing, but is being totally over-hyped by people who have no knowledge of medicine — like Trump.

Chip, you’re not having second thoughts about YOUR GUY?
I mean after all, he was just joking/being sarcastic/trying to rile up the reporter. Who wasn’t there.
Why would you criticize this latest debacle? It’s no worse that the hydroxychloroquine, maybe not as bad.

Besides, anybody who wants a test, gets a test and it’ll be gone as soon as the weather warms up in April.
