The Okeechobee News reports:
While most of the Okeechobee County Commissioners urge the public to refer to the health information from the Centers for Disease Control, the Florida Department of Health or their own doctor, one commissioner uses the public commission meetings to share his own ideas about COVID-19. At the March 20 meeting of the Okeechobee County Commissioners, Commissioner Bryant Culpepper referenced a program he said he saw on One American News Network.
“This sound really goofy, and it did to me too, but it works,” he explained. “Once the temperature reaches 136 degrees Fahrenheit, the virus falls apart, it disintegrates. I said how would you get the temperature up to 136 degrees? The answer was you use a blow dryer. You hold a blow dryer up to your face and you inhale through your nose and it kills all the viruses in your nose.”
Okeechobee County Commissioner Bryant Culpepper at emergency meeting says you can kill coronavirus by holding a blow dryer up to your nose after he saw it on “reliable source” OANN, warns “there’s a lot of baloney out there on social media” #BecauseFlorida pic.twitter.com/n9dGDBQ4WW

At prior emergency meeting, Culpepper said his son discovered coronavirus “cure” on website that sells “nano ozone vapor” device hunters use to mask their scent from deer (he’s ordered 5 of them) and he hopes the White House is watching #BecauseFlorida https://t.co/fBATxZAY2k pic.twitter.com/yoee0pD3EJ

For the record: the reasonable and VERY patient woman in the first video is Tiffany Collins of the Florida Department of Health in Okeechobee County. This is her complete response to Commissioner Culpepper at the March 20th 2020 emergency COVID-19 meeting. https://t.co/h6dl01wVKD pic.twitter.com/nta8zY37iK

Commissioner Culpepper initially doubled down, telling his detractors yesterday, “No one is holding a gun to your head” to hold a blow dryer to your nose and warning they’ll “feel like fools when I am proven right.” #BecauseFlorida pic.twitter.com/U8k2564AQp

But earlier today, Commissioner Culpepper posted an apology on his Facebook page (consider this your TRIGGER WARNING if you choose to look at some of his other posts): https://t.co/EVN8lnXkNU pic.twitter.com/xGBCXHdQpf
