"Don't worry, Mike. If this UV light don't get it, the Lysol will!
By David Smith
The Guardian
Donald Trump has stunned viewers by suggesting that people could receive injections of disinfectant to cure the coronavirus, a notion one medical expert described as “jaw-dropping”.
At Thursday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing, the president discussed new government research on how the virus reacts to different temperatures, climates and surfaces.
“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that. So, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.”
Dr Deborah Birx, the task force response coordinator, remained silent. But social media erupted in hilarity and outrage at the president, who has a record of defying science and also floated the idea of treating patients’ bodies with ultraviolet (UV) light.
Several doctors warned the public against injecting disinfectant or using UV light.
Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley and a former labor secretary, tweeted: “Trump’s briefings are actively endangering the public’s health. Boycott the propaganda. Listen to the experts. And please don’t drink disinfectant.”
Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, added: “It is incomprehensible to me that a moron like this holds the highest office in the land and that there exist people stupid enough to think this is OK. I can’t believe that in 2020 I have to caution anyone listening to the president that injecting disinfectant could kill you.”
Trump was already facing a backlash over his championing of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, as a therapy for the coronavirus, a quixotic effort amplified by the conservative network Fox News. Research has found no evidence that it is beneficial and a government vaccine expert has claimed he was fired for limiting its use.

Just looping back on this bleach, Sir.
1. What volume of domestos should be injected?
2. With what frequency?
3. Intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal or subcutaneous?
4. Can you post a video of yourself receiving the inaugural dose?
Or maybe that idiota that keeps defending this clown can be the initial pichon and volunteer to take the dosage his king suggested - how'bout it estupido racist republican.
THAT GED IDIOTA DID NOT GET THE MESSAGE OPEN THE PARKS DO IT NOW...
@6:58 Callate pinche llorona! THE VIRUS ARE ALL LIES!!!
If the president’s musing about how his constituents might ingest or inject household cleaning chemicals doesn’t prompt tv news executives to re-evaluate the propriety of instantly amplifying his every word live, nothing will.
@ 10:54
Chinga tu madre, puto!
The President never said to inject yourself or to drink disinfectant. Watch the complete video and listen to what he said. Then either believe what he said on the video or believe what the mainstream media tells you. If you see that he didn't say that will the liberals get pissed at the mainstream media? Of course not. They will continue saying he did say that. Come on people. Think for yourself. Don't just hate because you're told to hate. Think on your own. If you know it's a lie you should be outraged instead of continuing the lie.
What a bunch of bull shit you are all spreading .. you are the problem.. that’s not what he said .. I watch the update .. stop spreading lies

R0, pronounced “R-naught,” represents the number of new infections estimated to stem from a single case. You may be hearing a lot about this.
Look at what he said and how he said it....not what is reported.
If you're dumb enough to drink bleach or inhale Lysol, you don't deserve to live.
our president is truly retarded!
only in america!
The more people that drink or inject themselves with Lysol the less Democrat votes for November.
a republican will probably drink it.
Ship all those cures to the appalachian mountains they'll drink everything that's free
