The wife of CNN host Chris Cuomo is being criticized after revealing on her lifestyle blog that she poured half a cup of Clorox in her bath twice a week to help cure her coronavirus.Isn't Twitter censoring its users who are advocating for "unproven medical advice in the age of the Coronavirus"? Is her Twatter account suspended...yet?
Magazine editor Cristina Cuomo shared that the bleach is ‘technically salt’ and she used it to ‘combat the radiation and metals in my system’, in direct contrast to warnings given by Clorox that contact with skin should be avoided.

'Household bleach is not chlorine.'
Social media users immediately hit back at Cristina’s recommendation, branding it ‘stupidity’ and highlighting that bleach is not ‘technically salt’.
‘My god, Chris Cuomo’s wife, Cristina, may be one of the dumbest people alive,’ one wrote.
‘She BATHED IN CLOROX to treat Coronavirus. She calls Clorox, “sodium chloride” which is technically salt. In reality, Clorox is sodium hypochlorite, Note: she graduated from Cornell...’

‘Cristina Cuomo has now stealth edited her piece to claim that Clorox is “technically salt,"’ they said.
‘It’s absolutely is not, and unless a doctor prescribed a bleach bath for an extreme skin infection, it definitely compromises your body’s natural immune defenses.’

The advice flies in the face of warnings given by Clorox themselves, who say that direct skin contact should always be avoided.
The company lists specific advice about bathing in the bleach on its website stating: ‘Clorox® Regular Bleach2 is NOT recommended for personal hygiene of any kind–consumers should always avoid direct skin and eye contacts with both undiluted bleach, as well as prolonged contact with the various bleach solutions we recommend for household cleaning and laundry.’
It adds that customers may be familiar with advice to use bleach to treat water for consumption in an emergency but highlights that this ratio is significantly smaller, with only 1/8 teaspoon bleach needed per gallon of clear water.
The half cup recommended in Cuomo’s post is about 120 times more chlorine than is necessary to sterilize water out in the wild to drink.
‘Please do not let an influencer influence you to bathe in Clorox,’ warned one Twitter user.
‘Stupidity is also an epidemic!'
ADDED: Oh...it was her lifestyle blog where Mrs. Stupid wrote about bathing in Clorox, not her Twatter account. I made an oops.
