I remember seeing the same thing at the time when some paper was trying to score political points after an infamously “bleach comment” from a former president trying to make a direct correlation. Completely oblivious to the reality that the 330+ million inhabitants of this nation are using disinfectants, bleaches and whatnot exponentially more between 2019 and 2021, we were lucky poison control only had a 300% increase! Heck in April of 2020 people were spraying down their vegetables with Lysol. It’s all context!
