EVANSTON, WYThrowing bottles of bleach, ammonia, and Drano into a cart at his local grocery store, area man Troy Mitchell was reportedly stocking up on one of every cleaning product he could find Wednesday in case President Donald Trump announces it is a coronavirus cure. I got toilet bowl cleaner, carpet cleaner, Swiffer WetJet refillsyou name itjust so me and my family will be ready if the president announces one of these things can treat Chinese virus, said Mitchell, indiscriminately throwing containers of laundry detergent, Scrubbing Bubbles, grout whitener, steel wool, Febreze, Tilex mold and mildew remover, and laptop screen wipes into the cart, the contents of which rang up to $2,513.67 at checkout. Im not getting caught without some oven degreaser should Trump say its going to save us, so I better go ahead and grab me a bottle. After this, Im hitting the hardware store to pick up a 5-gallon bucket of roof sealant to make sure Im prepared in the event that turns out to be what gets rid of the Wuhan. Could just be 10 or 20 squirts of Windex into each nostril. You never know what might work in a pinch! At press time, neighbors confirmed Mitchell had been found unresponsive on the floor of his bathroom with several empty aerosol cans of Rust-Oleum wax-and-tar-removing solvent by his head.
