It may be that the Americans are sufficiently intelligent to know not to take his comments, like that one, literally. He was simply saying that maybe a solution would be to flush the virus out of the system [like a bleach]. But outsiders jump on it and say "what an idiot" when maybe that role should be reversed! I read an overview of his comment by a qualified practitioner in the UK who said that is just how some medical practitioners will chat among themselves. The problem may be that he used 'in-house' terms (probably because that's how he cribbed it) in an 'out of house' environment.

The Dems VP Market has been a wild ride - which is great, some really massive swings.
Kamala Harris and Susan Rice are the favs, but maybe Biden pulls an out an unknown.
All I know is I'm all green now and can sit back and contemplate Thurs AM in Aust with a good result.

I've listened to a quite a few speeches from this list - https://www.americanrhetoric.com/top100speechesall.htmlAarondewit wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 4:10 amHe's the best orator I've ever seen. Amazing the contrast with Trump. Just a shame it's mostly pointless guff; just like his presidency.
And I'm always drawn to these two from Ronnie:

If half the electorate don't really agree with your policies why remind them of it when you have something else that you can agree with them on.
