| Subject: Listen up, anarcho-capitalists: Inhaling steam will not treat or cure novel coronavirus infection Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:18 am | |
| A video viewed more than 2.4 million times on Facebook urges people to inhale steam to “kill” the novel coronavirus. But experts say that doing so will not treat or cure the viral infection, and could in fact be harmful.The video -- a more than 40-minute Facebook live from March 15, 2020 -- features a man whose page identifies him as a sound technician and songwriter. He urges people to boil water in a pot with sea salt and citrus peels, then inhale the steam from it for 15 to 20 minutes. “I’m here today to tell y’all that I have a cure for the coronavirus,” he says, before adding: “Well, I wouldn’t say a cure, but I, yeah, I have something that kills the coronavirus.” “I’m giving a coronavirus treatment today. I’m helping as many people as I can help. I want y’all to share this, I want y’all to make this go viral -- I’m trying to help some people live,” the speaker later says.
