President Donald Trump used the daily Coronavirus Task Force briefing Thursday night to once again speculate dangerously and ignorantly on possible treatments for the Covid-19, this time rambling about exposing patients to “tremendous” amounts of ultraviolet light or injecting them with household disinfectants.
“This is not willy-nilly, off-the-cuff, maybe-this-will-work advice. This is dangerous.”
—Craig Spencer, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center
“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?” Trump asked, turning to William Bryan, a top scientist at the Department of Homeland Security. “Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
“Sounds interesting to me,” Trump added.
