>>its quite convenient to spout the fake news line more or less all the time now about anything that appears in any other news channel.
Fake news is as its label describes, whatever the source. Contemporary example: the lie that Trump told people to chug down Lysol and the resulting hate speech.
Prediction: light/heat will be proven to have a sterilizing effect on this virus. But those who insist that BOM said to chug down Lysol will deny that's what Trump suggested. There's trials underway on inserting emitters down entubation of badly affected patients as we speak. Similarly, disinfectant (not bleach or Lysol as some insist he said) will be shown to have sterilizing effects internally as well as externally, though those who insist he actually said to chug down Lysol will refuse to listen to all of his words, only the "sliced and diced" fake news version, or to scientist Bryan's own musings about "injections" that preceded it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
