Temperature as a cure
Just as the scientific community didn't give Trump's theories on COVID-19's survival in high temperatures a seal of approval - hand dryers and UV lamps don't effectively guard against the virus – the WHO has also discredited the idea that cold weather and snow can kill the new virus. So don't bother going on an ice cream binge.

Answer:
Donald Trump was far sicker with Covid-19 than the White House physician or his top aides let on, even to the point where there were concerns that the then-President would have to be put on a ventilator to deal with the illness
Explanation:
#1 Transmission Via parcels from china:
- Although their lifespan varies depending on the environment and temperature, pathogenic germs can only survive on objects such as parcels, coins and credit cards for a few hours. Products imported from China to Africa have been travelling for too long to transmit the virus.
#2 some plausible, but useless remedies
- Antibiotics work against bacteria, not viruses. Taking antibiotics to treat or prevent coronavirus could prove harmful by reducing a person’s vigilance. Vaccines against pneumonia don’t provide protection against COVID-19 either. The potential efficacy of chloroquine is currently being studied but doesn’t look particularly promising.
#3 Temperature as a cure:
- Just as the scientific community didn’t give Trump’s theories on COVID-19’s survival in high temperatures a seal of approval hand dryers and UV lamps don’t effectively guard against the virus – the WHO has also discredited the idea that cold weather and snow can kill the new virus. So don’t bother going on an ice cream binge.
- “As he was playing down the virus to the public, Trump was not confused or inadequately briefed: He flat-out lied, repeatedly, about science to the American people,” wrote the editor, H. Holden Thorp. “These lies demoralized the scientific community and cost countless lives in the United States.”
- Thorp pointed to tapes of Trump telling Woodward in early February that coronavirus was much more deadly than the flu, at a time when publicly Trump was explicitly comparing the virus to the flu.
- Trump later told Woodward in March: “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”
- Thorp wrote Friday that “playing it down meant lying about the fact that he knew the country was in grave danger.”
- “A U.S. president has deliberately lied about science in a way that was imminently dangerous to human health and directly led to widespread deaths of Americans,” Thorp added. “This may be the most shameful moment in the history of U.S. science policy.”
- Trump defended his response to the virus during a press conference Wednesday, saying when asked if he “misled” the public: “I think if you said ‘in order to reduce panic,’ perhaps that’s so.”
- The president maintained that he is a “cheerleader for this country, I love our country, and I don’t want people to be frightened.”
- Asked to respond to the Science editorial, White House spokeswoman Sarah Matthews said: “The suggestion that President Trump misled the public or concealed information that cost lives is an absurd proposition.”
- “He has always put the health of the American people first as evidenced by his early response in January when he issued a travel ban on China, declared a public health emergency, and created the coronavirus task force,” she added. “During times of crisis, people want a leader who will make decisive actions in a calm manner and as the President noted he didn’t want to induce unnecessary panic and was seeking to calm the nation.”
#4 Far-fetched Remedies:
- Some wrongly maintain that people can protect themselves against COVID-19 by washing their hands with children’s urine, applying sesame oil all over their body or consuming cannabis. These are simply examples of false advertising and/or click bait. Although people joke that consuming too much garlic will keep away potentially infected individuals due to extremely bad breath, this edible plant doesn’t boost the body’s immune system.
#5 Youthful immunity:
- The virus doesn’t just impact the elderly, although being in a fragile state influences the body’s ability to fight infection.
#6 A conspiracy brought to you by big Pharma
- According to this theory, pharmaceutical giants that have made a fortune off of drugs are hiding simple, effective coronavirus treatments so that they can profit from the sale of a future vaccine. The anti- vaccine movement piggybacks on the delayed treatment conspiracy.
