Covid19: airlines flout lockdown

Private airlines IndiGo, Spicejet, Vistara and GoAir have re-opened passenger bookings for flights starting mid-May in violation of aviation regulator DGCA’s explicit order.

“…all airlines are hereby directed to refrain from booking tickets… Further, the airlines may note that they shall be given sufficient notice and time for restarting of operations. This is for strict compliance by all airlines,” DGCA Deputy Director General Sunil Kumar wrote to all domestic and foreign airlines on April 19.

Covid-19: Did Trump Suggest Mainlining Lysol As a Cure?

Mainstream media and “alternative” mouthpieces that cultivate the edginess and frankness of alternatives while serving up mainstream disinformation (WION, World Is One News, for eg.), are ridiculing Donald Trump for allegedly advising people to inject themselves with disinfectant to tackle Covid-19, https://www.wionews.com/world/watch-trump-suggests-injection-of-disinfectant-to-treat-coronavirus-294429.

That’s not how anyone with any social or literary intelligence would interpret his remarks [Trump bold, Lila italics]:

And then I saw the disinfectant

He doesn’t specify which, but the MSM immediately inserted various brands, forcing brand manufacturers to distance themselves from the purported remarks.

where it knocks it out in one minute and is there a way we could do something like that by injection inside

“A way,” and “something like that” are clearly NOT recommendations to directly inject. They are speculations about whether government/researchers [“we”] can come up with a way of getting the same [“like that”] efficacy through an unknown- to-the- President [“is there..?”] technology [“a way”]

or almost a cleaning.

“Almost” shows he was aiming for a similar effect but not necessarily specifying the same kind of cleaning technology used externally.

In other words, the President pointed out that disinfectants get rid of the virus on external surfaces and wondered aloud whether something could be done to make them work internally, via injection or something similar. This is an interesting suggestion and it could work if the disinfectant were delivered directly to the virus without harming tissue. There are ways to do this. Nanotechnology is one. Already, household bleach, a disinfectant, is used in very diluted form to clean deep ulcers.

Trump’s speculation was apparently inspired by a letter from Mark Grenon, whose company Genesis II markets chlorine dioxide as Miracle Mineral Solution, a cure for a variety of ailments. Grenon may or may not be a fraud, but Alan Keyes, a conservative Republican and former Senate and Presidential candidate, is also an advocate.
