Teddy Locsin Jr Makes Interesting Observation On COVID-19
TEDDY LOCSIN JR ON COVID-19 – The Philippines continue to struggle against the effects of COVID-19.
As such, President Rodrigo Duterte announced a P50M reward for whoever could find a cure for the virus. However, it looks like someone has already found the cure we have been looking for.
Teddy Locsin Jr. made a now-deleted Tweet that went:
“Interesting observation: What kind of a virus is it for which there is no cure let alone a vaccine yet is killed by washing with soap? As toddlers, we ate soap in the tub; as kids, our angry parents washed our mouths with soap. Can it be wrong to ingest or inject soap?”
Some might say that Locsin’s tweet was merely sarcastic or done with humorous intent. However, netizens emphasized that now is not a time for that. Moreover, others criticized him for backing out of his statement.
Netizens stated that if his statement was a joke, he shouldn’t have backed out and deleted the tweet. Meanwhile, in the United States, President Donald Trump also made a similar statement.
Previously, the US President made a statement that doctors should directly inject disinfectant or use UV light to kill the virus. As such,both suggestions of trump were lambasted by thousands of medical experts.
Following this, an aggressive campaign was launched to warn the public against Trump’s suggestion.
“We must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body”
Meanwhile, Lacson quickly deleted his tweet after receiving negative traction on Twitter. Afterward, he followed it up with another tweet that said:
Very few got my soap tweet. I realized its because being made to wash your mouth with soap is not a form of punishment by parents of the dominant Twitter generation. They get time outs.
