Medical experts have hit out at Donald Trump after he suggested that
research should be carried out into whether the coronavirus might be
treated by injecting disinfectant into the body.
The President made the remark after a Homeland Security official mentioned
the ability of disinfectants like bleach to kill the virus on surfaces.

“And then I see the disinfectant where it 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?” Mr Trump asked at his latest daily briefing. “Because, you see, it gets on the lungs, and it does a tremendous number
on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that.”
Mr Trump also proposed experts look into whether irradiating the bodies of patients with UV light could help fight the infection. Pointing to his
head, Mr Trump added: “I’m not a doctor. But I’m, like, a person that has a good you-know-what.” Doctors reacted with horror at the comments,
pointing out that disinfectants like bleach are poisonous and dangerous
when mishandled.
“This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into
the body is irresponsible, and it’s dangerous,” Dr Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist and global health policy expert, told NBC News.
Kashif Mahmood, a doctor in Charleston, West Virginia, tweeted: “As a physician, I can’t recommend injecting disinfectant into the lungs or
using UV radiation inside the body to treat Covid-19. Don’t take medical advice from Trump.”
Last night’s briefing included a presentation on US government research
that indicated the coronavirus appeared to weaken more quickly when
exposed to sunlight and heat.
Mr Trump, who was joined by Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, said: “Supposing you brought the light inside of
the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way.
And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting.”
He asked Dr Birx if she had ever heard of using “the heat and the light”
to treat coronavirus. “Not as a treatment,” Dr Birx replied
The death toll in the US was later revealed to have topped 50,000 with the number of confirmed cases rising by a near-record amount to hit more than 891,000, the highest in the world.
### - it was pretty obvious that he didn't 'literally' mean injecting
something like dettol or bleach into the body lol, but was merely musing
on the fact that certain disinfectants work amazingly well to kill this
shit ("kills it in only a minute!") so why couldn't there be something
maybe similar, a way of internally 'disinfecting' the body via various
as-yet unexplored ways & means, a valid enough idea from a layman's pov of wondering about ways to apply such an idea was all... he's an ideas-man,
he gets ideas! :)
and because many ideas that seemed completely preposterous at first
actually turned out to be miracle-making ideas that were ahead of their
time!
trust the world, of course, to jump on him for that comment though lol; it
just ain't 'scientific' enough innit!
fuck off! it's a good idea! one which may or may not turn out to be
practical is all...
at least he... thinks! :)
