Suggests injecting disinfectant to treat COVID-19
During a televised task force briefing, after an official presented data on disinfectants killing the virus on surfaces, Trump mused about using them internally. '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?' He also suggested hitting the body with 'tremendous' UV light. The comments horrified medical experts and led to a spike in calls to poison control centers.
