The White House cannot talk.  It was Dr. Birx who said it:

Q    Can you talk about your concerns about deaths being misreported by coronavirus because of either testing or standards for how they’re characterized?

DR. BIRX:  So, I think, in this country, we’ve taken a very liberal approach to mortality, and I think the reporting here has been pretty straightforward over the last five to six weeks.  Prior to that, when there wasn’t testing in January and February, that’s a very different situation and unknown.

There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem — some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.

Right now, we’re still recording it, and we’ll — I mean, the great thing about having forms that come in and a form that has the ability to mark it as COVID-19 infection — the intent is, right now, that those — if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death.

Ambassador Dr. Deborah Birx, 7 April 2020

If we had one, it would be a good idea but we don’t.  Plenty of people inject themselves with a disinfectant at the evening meal and other times during the day: ethanol is a disinfectant.  When one devours ethanol, it ends up in the bloodstream.  Unfortunately for humanity, alcohol is an example of a disinfectant that does not slay C-19 in the concentrations humans can tolerate.

 

Of course if a vaccine or covid-19 killer is discovered, of course it would be a good idea to inject it.  John, would you agree?
