In India, Some People Believe A Cow Poop Bath Will Protect Against Coronavirus

I’ve left the Hoosier state and am writing to you live from Florida.

I am supposed to be in Disney World, but, you know, the COVID-19 crisis has struck.  We’ve pressed on and are headed to the beach, where hopefully we can keep social distance from others, and wash our hands frequently.

MEANWHILE IN INDIA, they are taking cow poop baths to protect against coronavirus.  Handwashing versus a cow poop bath.  Just a small cultural difference.

According to the New York Post, some in southern India believe that the cow poop will make them immune to COVID-19.

Fearing coronavirus, three men and one boy in Hiriyur, India, were filmed taking a dip in a bath filled with cow poop. “The whole world is terrified of the deadly virus outbreak,” one of the men said. “If we all start taking cow dung bath, we will attain immunity from the virus.”
