President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of an "injection" of disinfectant into a person infected with the coronavirus as a deterrent to the virus during his daily briefing Thursday.
Trump made the remark after Bill Bryan, who leads the Department of Homeland Security's science and technology division, gave a presentation on research his team has conducted that shows that the virus doesn't live as long in warmer and more humid temperatures. Bryan said, "The virus dies quickest in sunlight," leaving Trump to wonder whether you could bring the light "inside the body."
"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."
He added: "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."
He didn't specify the kind of disinfectant.
Medical professionals, including Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist, global health policy expert and an NBC News and MSNBC contributor. were quick to challenge the president's "improper health messaging."

Someone should tell NBC that Trump is not a doctor.
But that would take away the fun of watching them make fools of themselves.

To be fair, I read somewhere that Teddy Roosevelt had 100 new ideas a day that he bounced off of people, two of which were actually any good.
A friend of my daughter’s bought a UV light that’s designed to disinfect keys, phones etc. The friends husband didn’t believe it. (He’s a democrat high in the local party so that’s to be expected)
I told her that the UV spectrum matters but in general UV light ultimately destroys everything it comes in contact with. That’s why paint fades and shingles curl up.
I told her about my sleeping bag. I bought it just before a weeklong backpack trek in Tennessee in August. To say it was ripe when I got home doesn’t even begin.
I laid it out for a couple days in the backyard and it was clean and spring fresh. In over ten years, I’ve never washed that bag and use it very frequently.
MSM hardest hit, they are all using Clorox wipes as suppositories. which explains why they are so nasty and miserable.
Or scientific discovery. But the media has the equivalent of a 5th grade education so they hear something and go hope and make isopropyl alcohol martinis and use Clorox wipes as suppositories, they aren't too bright.
It's worth a try.
I think Trump was really wondering if “something like that” in a medicinal way, could be done. I don’t think he was thinking or trying to ask whether or not household disinfectants can be injected.
Healight by scientists from Cedars-Sinai has UV light to treat the coronavirus and other respiratory infections.
