It's absolutely misleading and dangerous.
- floatingatoll 6y agoEmailing the mods with the footer Contact link will help them realize and correct that.
- smt88 6y agoThis is true in the sense that all misleading medical information about over-the-counter drugs is dangerous. It's also true because we already know of at least one person who died self-dosing with an unproven Covid-19 "cure".
- amluto 6y agoHypochlorous acid (bleach) destroys SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture, too. So do ethanol and soap.
- yk 6y agoA revolver destroys the virus in-vivo. (At least vivo at the beginning of the study.)
- amluto 6y agoThat xkcd comic confuses me. Does a revolver really kill pathogens or does it just scatter them? A flamethrower, on the other hand...

- Y3Jdg4 6y agoThis sort of anti-hype is not useful. I've seen a number of people say such things recently, so I figure it might be worth correcting, sarcasm notwithstanding. First, yes, ingesting large amounts of bleach would likely be hazardous to one's health. The article that was linked suggests that there is a drug which is FDA approved, and used in a therapeutic context today, which may also be effective at least in vitro against the new SARS virus. It's not "haha bleach," or aggressive pulverizing, or any other dramatic form of cell death you can easily imagine. It's a drug [that was linked]. Second, bleach actually _is_ used in vivo. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5402722/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5402722/
