Does cocaine help with coronavirus? WHO has the answer, but only if you speak one of these languages… There are a lot of things that won’t help you beat the Covid-19 virus: hot baths, garlic, hand dryers… But WHO’s myth-busting page is noticeably missing one ineffective remedy (cocaine) in its English-language version. The World Health Organization (WHO) produced useful tips regarding fact and fiction relevant to the rampaging disease (garlic, going for walks in cold weather, hand dryers, antibiotics, and children’s urine can’t save you from the virus, it said), but in a different way to different people. As a UN body, the WHO has pages in the six official languages of the organization: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. The tip...

Amid concerns over his cognitive capacities, Dem frontrunner calls himself an ‘Obidenbama Democrat’ Some of Joe Biden’s critics say his constant gaffes on the campaign trail have gone beyond his usual antics and into the realms of senility. The former VP seemed determined to troll them (or prove them right). If you want to believe Biden is not fit for the presidency due to a deteriorating mind, there is plenty of evidence to support the theory. At times he has acted quite bizarrely on the campaign trail, telling voters to elect other candidates if they don’t like him as he is, and even insulting his critics – like when he jokingly called a woman questioning his poor Iowa performance “a lying dog-faced pony soldier.” At other times he has seemingly f...
