One of the very few valid reasons to break the curfew in Spain is to walk your pets.
Some are trying to bend the rules a bit....

I wonder how many Americans are pouring bleach in their coffee this morning

This response is a classic example of the wildly successful misdirection tactic that The Don has been employing since his campaign.

True that he often has to deflect attention - but this one seems to have been sourced by a wing-nut group that was contacting him about this. He really is that ignorant and will just spout shit for sake of hearing his own voice. He faces no consequences for his actions, so why would he care. But misdirection and control of the news cycle by a media that chases its own tail in the best of times happens a lot. Sometimes he'll purposely say outlandish stuff, other times like this - it just dumb shit falling out of his mouth.

Hopefully they call the can-I-put-bleach-in-my-coffee-hotline first.

More than 100 calls have been made to Maryland's state's emergency hotline in the wake of President Trump touting disinfectant as a possible 'cure' for coronavirus.

It led to the state of Maryland sending out an emergency alert after the calls kept coming with many people questioning the advice on consuming disinfectant as a possible treatment to COVID-19.

The stupidity boggles the mind. "My orange hero" should have known better after that pool chemical incident.

The Economist actually takes some of the blame away from Donny and points out that the USA is very poorly built to respond to a pandemic, regardless of who is in the white house.

Because I travel to the US several time a week and have several friends there, I have seen the mixed response from various levels of government and mixed messaging that has lead to the general confusion there. I don't buy that it is divided sharply along party lines. The video also highlights why I dropped my Economist subscription after ~20 years. They compare travel in a state divided into several islands whose population is concentrated along the coastlines to a state that boasts of it's wide open spaces with large distances between service centres. Week journalism.

Trumps actions early on were a mixture of strong actions (China travel ban followed by European travel ban) while speaking positively to calm the populous. As the video says, the healthcare response is up to State and Local agencies. Officials can only act within their jurisdictional powers.

And trying to figure out how to get warm sunshine inside their bodies

The liberal media needs to stop telling Trump supporters they cannot inject disinfectants!

Their body, their choice!

Week journalism.

What else can you expect from a weekly magazine?

Lol how many inbreds are following their leader Trump’s suggestion to start guzzling bleach.

I thought it was "inject lysol".

Whatever, maybe he's trying to rid America of idiots.

Don't forget he also mentioned chloroquine + remdesivir as cures

... knowing that those actually work and that idiot lefties would refuse to take anything "My orange hero" speaks highly of.

4D chess, kill all the idiots on both sides and make America great again.

Yikes, some doctors are suspecting COVID-19 is causing blood clots, leading to strokes in the 30-50 year old range.

Whatever, maybe he's trying to rid America of idiots.

Then how will he win in November?

Check out how uncomfortable Birx is when Trump looks to her for confirmation of his wacko ideas, lol. Not an easy job.
