Right now everyone is making fun of Trump's comments about disinfecting from the inside.
What goes unnoticed is that he actually may be right.
Just like chloroquine it is a very old med, and generally forgotten -- nonprofitable. Two differences with chloroquine are: (1) it is actually known to be safe (2) it is easy to understand why it works -- it actually kills viruses.
The med is Methenamine and it goes back to 1859. Some articles call it an antibiotic -- well, if so, it is the first one! More appropriate name would be anti-infective: it kills both bacteria and viruses.
Ironically it does exactly what Trump suggested yesterday: it applies a disinfectant *internally*. While drinking glorox would not do much good against virus, Methenamine delivers a powerful disinfectant in tiny dosages exactly to where you want it : respiratory and urinary tracts. (First destination is for the virus, Second is for the main usage TODAY). The disinfectant is actually formaldehyde. Methenamine is chemically formaldehyde, wrapped into a packaging to make is safe, it breaks down upon delivery. Formaldehyde kills viruses. (And it is not something you want to drink...except in this controlled fashion).
Today, methenamine is nonprescription medication for urinary tract bacterial infections. In 1920s it was perhaps the main anti-flu medication, both as treatment and as a preventative. (I have a funny leaflet from those days somewhere...claims 100% protection against flu... well, nothing is 100% protection, anything that works helps.).
Unlike most flu meds today, it is not a symptom reliever -- it is a virus killer. Not suggesting it or anything... but this is really one medication one should look at seriously. Fairly decent chances it works.... at least by diminishing the virus load.
(Yes, it is dirt cheap and non-prescription)
Again, this is only a suggestion of something to research.

They’re going to perpetuate the lie because they can.
In one, succinct sentence.
Hi.
May I recommend the internal cleaning to include a fifth of a good 18yr old single malt scotch?
5.56mm
Wouldn’t straight shots do the same thing....We could start a new round of drink the virus away.....
Apple cider vinegar with honey and hot water
Well, maybe..
But the Lysol moment was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard anyone say. What a total abortion.
I no longer grace ANY MSM anymore. They have zero credibility, as far as I am concerned. Actually less than zero. I only know about their propaganda from here.
I think the inhalation of Propylene Glycol should be looked at.
Sorry but he is now saying he was being sarcastic.
It was a dumb thing to say in the first place and now he is making it worse.
I don’t think you’ve done enough hand wringing yet.
I love the way Trump plays with the media idiots.
The irony is that there is a decent chance he was actually correct -- maybe there's something there -- not that he realized this.
That’s if you like iodine flavored whisky. I prefer a nice imperial vodka myself.
Trump says things to control his enemies. Try not to side with his enemies.
Even if this has an antibiotic application in certain circumstances, Covid-19 is a virus and not a bacterial infection. Antibiotics won't do anything to it.
Actually DJT was 100% CORRECT. - Patients, who are “ON VENTILATORS”, routinely have a 2nd tube inserted with (or sometimes INSIDE OF) the ventilator tube that has UV LED lights & the UV lights do successfully KILL VIRUSES.
Trust NOTHING that “the main-SLIME media” claims is my 100% sincere advice, as the Trump-HATING, LEFTIST, media LIES like rugs.
Yours, TMN78247
