Coronavirus: Hindu group hosts ‘cow urine drinking party’ to cure illness despite lack of evidence
‘We have been drinking cow urine for 21 years’ says one party guest
A Hindu group hosted a cow urine drinking party on Saturday as they believe it wards off the coronavirus; many Hindus consider the cow sacred and some drink cow urine believing it has medicinal properties.
Experts have repeatedly asserted that cow urine does not cure illnesses like cancer and there is no evidence that it can prevent coronavirus.
A leader from India’s north eastern state of Assam told state lawmakers earlier this month during an assembly session that cow urine and cow dung can be used to treat the coronavirus.
The pathogen, which has infected more than 138,000 people worldwide and left over 5,000 dead, has no known scientific cure and governments across the world are struggling to control the spread of the pandemic.
