I can only imagine how many people must have been absolutely tearing their hair out over that puzzle.
Trump: What if we smoke it out?
Dr. Fauci: What?
Trump: The Invisible Enemy, the terrible coronavirus, what if we smoke it out?
Dr. Fauci: Smoke…it out?
Trump: Native American legend says, “scourge hate-um smoke, make heap-um scared.”
Dr. Fauci: Wha—
Trump: So what if we light small fires in people, we smoke it out? Not too small, we’ll need a lot of smoke, maybe the most smoke, even ever.
Dr. Fauci: Oh my.

I did see something a while back about a French research team’s preliminary findings that nicotine use appeared to improve outcomes in some way. Didn’t read the article, but maybe relevant!

That is a thing. Or potentially a thing. I remember hearing about it a while back and assumed it was nonsense, but it hasn’t been debunked so far.
That’s not really groundbreaking: the act of smoking has “virtues” of killing not only self (slowly), but about anything going through the smoker’s airways (quite immediately). That’s quite welcome, since pretty much all the other local defenses are downed by the smoking.
Anyway to attribute it to a single substance like nicotine, as a lot of media have been doing, seems like a fallacy though.
I picked the wrong time to stop using nicotine pills it seems.
I still have the stupid HELLO song stuck in my head ever since i posted that stupid picture 2 days ago.
I’ll be honest, when I made that picture joke, I didn’t expect to learn about nicotine and COVID-19!

It’s one of the weirder things that came out at one point so I had to comment once JPR did. :)
Ultimately, it’s probably nothing, but sometimes the world is weird.
I found detective pikachu here explaining the smoking thing.
