At an unusually contentious briefing Thursday of the coronavirus task force, President Trump floated the idea that people infected with COVID-19 might be treated using injections of disinfectant and applications of ultraviolet light.

Trump brought up those theories in the context of a presentation by William Bryan, a scientist at the Department of Homeland Security, about research indicating that the virus can be killed on surfaces and in aerosols by heat, humidity, sunlight and disinfectants, specifically bleach and isopropyl alcohol. None of the medical experts at the briefing suggested that these were plausible treatments for people already infected.

“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? Because you see it gets in the lungs and does a tremendous number on the lungs,” Trump continued. The temperatures Bryan’s laboratory had been researching in terms of their effect on coronavirus were in the range of 70 to 95 degrees. Normal body temperature is 98.6.

“I hope people enjoy the sun and if it has an impact that’s great,” Trump said. “I’m just hearing this, not really for the first time, there’s been a rumor that, a very nice rumor that you go outside in the sun or you have heat and that does have an affect on other viruses. But now we get it from one of the great laboratories in the world, I have to say.”

NY Governor Andrew Cuomo Says President Trump Promised Help With Coronavirus TestingCuomo said at their White House meeting Trump committed to procure more testing supplies from China and other overseas manufacturers. He said they agreed the Navy ship Comfort could leave New York. Let's believe it when we see it. Hope NYGovCuomo disinfected his hands and everything on and around him after leaving that diseased filth. Trump also said almost 6 weeks ago that 'anyone who wants a test can get it' - empty promises. At this point, I doubt any country would sell anything to Trump. Just ask Russia and the Crown Prince of Saudi, or anyone else he lives to name drop that send him perfect beautiful letters!
