Put Howard Devoto on the COVID-19 Task Force

I was forewarned by my upstairs neighbor, who had watched a bit of the briefing while I was still asleep after working the graveyard shift. She, being an Armagh girl, pronounced Trump 'fuckin' daft' and mentioned his bit about powerful light killing the novel coronavirus. Now that I have a bit of time to watch coverage of the travesty while my coffee brews, it's a doozy:



Yeah, this idea of shining a powerful light inside the body smacks of the old (hey, it seems like a century ago) urban legend about killing COVID-19 with a blow dryer aimed up the nose. There was also the charming bit which seems to imply that he thinks injecting Lysol will kill this thing too.

If Trump is going to allocate research dollars to using light internally to destroy COVID-19 viruses, he'd better call Howard Devoto, the world's foremost expert on internal light:





With any luck, they'll have this pandemic problem solved before the rainy season.

On a serious note, he's so damn desperate for a 'miracle cure' that he will be touting actual snake oil before this thing runs its course.

LIke your average 'psychic', he's going to keep throwing out this crap and hope that when it's all over, his fans will only remember anything he said that worked.

Unfortunately for him, so far, every single idea that's issued from that rotting melon he calls a brain, has been exactly worth less than nothing.

I find myself at peace with the idea of MAGA morons drinking bleach to own the libs. Already, now that the hydroxychloroquine 'cure' has been debunked, they are claiming that it failed because the recipients weren't given megadoses of zinc.

I'm past caring for these cretins.
