A Friend When No One Else Seems to Care
Not going to get into semantics here. But what horrors are currently at the forefront of those people in public service who have earned your trust? SO, in a blind trust there have been many a folk, recently, who took Donald Trump at his word and attempted to defend their body against the onslaught of COVID-19 by ingesting bleach – or some other form of disinfectant chemical.
Yeah Right. Trust me.
Al Waxman, that beloved Canadian actor, made this TV commercial for Kleenex in 1971. It was and still is a classic.
Edwin, Harvey, Chick – all locked up in a cell with Mr. Waxman (locked up, locked down – much like today?) –
The message stated by Kleenex was, ‘A friend when no one else seems to care.’ Comforting words, yes?
Seems to me this world needs a great deal more friends such as that statement suggests.
And, as for famous last words, at the end of the commercial,
‘And Momma told us to stay inside!’

US President Donald Trump has been lambasted by the medical community after suggesting research into whether coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant into the body.
He also appeared to propose irradiating patients’ bodies with UV light, an idea dismissed by a doctor at the briefing.
Another of his officials had moments earlier said sunlight and disinfectant were known to kill the infection.
Disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.
Even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.
What did President Trump say?
During Thursday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing, an official presented the results of US government research that indicated coronavirus appeared to weaken more quickly when exposed to sunlight and heat.
The study also showed bleach could kill the virus in saliva or respiratory fluids within five minutes and isopropyl alcohol could kill it even more quickly.
