I love how as David gets older his persona is shifting from "old man trapped in a young man's body" to "actual old man losing his marbles". It's a very clever move that has prevented his panel show appearances from growing stale

@bina nocht No. No. No. Just no. That is not a treatment option. Do not ever gargle with bleach or iodine holy shit. Just not. That is incredibly dangerous. Do not take unhinged medical musings from Trump as suggestions. Doctors are already looking at treatment options. You don't need him to ask those questions and prompt research. Do not use yourself as a guinea pig for any fcking experimental treatment of nasal spray containing iodine or bleach ot whatever if you have Covid. He's not a doctor. You're not a doctor. This is a terrible idea. What the fk are you even on about?? America is not the only country in the bloody world, but you're the only country with such an aggressive for-profit healthcare system. The CDC guidelines and research regarding how to treat Covid when infected are the same in America and out of it. There is no monetary gain for my country to not be using Trump's and fellow grifters crackpot suggestions on new ways to treat Covid. They're already doing that reaearch, and if something was safe, effective and worth trying, we'd be fking told about it. Do not ever ingest bleach as a nasal spray. That is how you do insane damage to your body. How is that being bang on the money??? I don't know what a "hex" or some "other antiviral" is supposed to encompass either, but don't gargle fcking bleach or iodine.

[@wfcoaker1398]

[@jonathannash8471]

The issue with the whole Trump disinfectant thing is that it's actually not as dumb as you think. It's kinda how we go about cancer treatments today. We have substances, chemical or radioactive or other, that are really good at killing cells, and we target them at the cancerous cells. This is because we don't have much for some cancers that can specifically target the tumours, so we use this approach. It's like amputating off a leg to save the human. Would be almost impossible with COVID, since we can't survive without lungs, but if it was only in one lung we could potentially remove it to save the other from a potential infection, as most healthy people can survive with only one lung.

THis is actually a bit scary. Is it that Mitchell never watches movies and TV and just doesn't know about current trends and so on, or is this early onset Dementia or Alzheimers? Or is he drunk? Because this isn't as much funny as it is concerning. I love David Mitchell and hope he is just having fun and there is no underlying medical issue.

[@lvmln7843]

well i think we don't need to be alarmed, lockdown changed our perception of time, or at least my perception of time - I see myself thinking in "before covid" and "during covid" categories and, all that was before covid kind of melts together - like the Dunkirk comment, I get that he would be confused about that! time flows differently when all you can do is sit at home... So I can understand his confusion!

[@Tikorous]

I hope you kept the receipt from your medical school because you're definitely owed a refund

[@wontorres]

I think he just mixed up Dunkirk and 1917

[@mitchkroener]

I agree that he does seem quite out of it but I think he’s just a bit pissed-maybe his tolerance level for social drinking got diminished during COVID and he went a bit off-piste? I find the same level of alcohol can effect you more in a large social situation than if you’re just quaffing with a friend or partner in a low key way. It is weird to see though, because he normally outclasses absolutely everyone on these kinds of shows, with the exception of Stephen Fry.

After six years of lies, late night Twitter storms, idiotic public statements, civil unrest that cancelled your 200 year old boast about "peaceful transfer of power", and a mismanaged pandemic that killed a million of you, your country is finally getting back to what passes for sanity in your culture. There's not as many crazies yelling at strangers because, for some reason they think wearing a mask is worse than crucifixion. The deluded lunatics who have been nattering on about pedophiles and "the Deep State" are getting less attention. More and more Americans are opening their eyes to just how dangerous Trump was. Even the Republicans are coming back to reality after their excursion into LaLa Land. It'll take a generation or more for your country to get over Trump, though. Some of you are completely resistant to facts and reason. I think a big part of your problem is that you don't educate your children, you indoctrinate them.
