'The coronavirus is a real threat. But so is misinformation like President Trump's suggestion that injecting household cleaners could be a cure,' say doctors akashgoel and Anthony Choi in usatodayopinion
after comparing coronavirus deaths to noncommunicable causes of death such as drowning and car accidents. Confused again. This type of thinking is both the cause and effect of our government's sidelining of the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, in the most critical time of need.We have long been warned of false prophets and snake oil salesmen.
