We’re in a timeline where Dettol maker has to beg folks not to inject cleaning fluid into their veins. Thanks, Trump • The Register

Meanwhile, lawyer wanders beaches dressed as the Reaper… it has been a long week. Happy Friday, folks

Reckitt Benckiser Plc, the British maker of disinfectants Lysol and Dettol, had to hastily issue a statement this morning telling people not to ingest or inject their cleaning products in the hopes of fending off coronavirus.

This came just hours after the world watched slack-jawed as the President of the United States appeared to propose injecting disinfectant into the human body as a possible treatment for the COVID-19 coronavirus.  …

…  Indeed, it looks like the Grim Reaper has his work cut out amid this crisis. Daniel Uhlfelder, a lawyer famed for opposing privatisation of Florida beaches, has said that from 1 May he will tour the state’s coastline dressed as the personification of death to encourage people to stay indoors and observe social distancing.

We don’t know about you, but we’re ready for our pre-weekend beer. More than 50,000 people have died of COVID-19 this year in the US alone.
