The President of the USA US Trump Presides Over Daily Outbreak Press Conference
United States President Trump often has surprising words, and the most puzzling this week is his recommendation at the epidemic conference: whether the new coronavirus can be treated by injecting a disinfectant into the human body should be studied.
He also suggested at the epidemic press conference that the use of ultraviolet light (ultraviolet light) to irradiate the patient’s body also has a therapeutic effect.
Such comments were rejected by a doctor on the spot. The anger and irony caused by the follow-up prompted Trump to clarify on Friday that the disinfectant injection and ultraviolet light are all “cold jokes, intended to laugh and” sarcastic. “
Your computer does not support the playback of multimedia materials.
This triggered a new round of doubt. Many people think that Trump just doesn’t understand what a joke is.
What did Trump say?
At the White House epidemic briefing on Thursday (April 23), government officials presented the results of a study by the US government. USA Which showed that the new coronavirus appears to weaken faster under sunlight and high temperatures.
This research also shows that disinfectants can kill the new coronavirus in saliva, sputum, and mucus in 5 minutes, and isopropyl alcohol can kill the new coronavirus in a shorter time.
William Bryan, acting director of the Office of Science and Technology of the United States Department of Homeland Security, briefly presented these findings at the briefing that day.
President Trump mentioned this investigation in his subsequent speech, suggesting that more research could be carried out in this field: “So if we use extremely strong, ultraviolet, or very strong light,” Trump turned his head to the Deborah Birx White House, the Coordinator of the new coronavirus, said: “You said this has not been tested, but you are ready to try this method.”
Trump went on to say, “So I said, if you put this light inside your body, through the skin or other methods, I remember you saying you would try this method, too. It sounds very interesting.”
“I saw that the disinfectant could kill the virus in one minute. One minute. So can we inject the disinfectant into the body? Is it like washing it again?”
“This verification is also very interesting.”
Trump also pointed to his head and said, “I’m not a doctor, but me, that’s what makes people so good.”
President Trump asked Dr. Burks if he had heard of the high temperature and light treatment of the new coronavirus. Dr. Burks said, “Not as a treatment. Of course, high fever is good. It helps the body react when it has a fever. But I have not seen treatment for temperature or light.”
Trump said: “I think it is very good and worth considering.”
The disinfectant cannot be injected into the human body.

Reckitt Benckiser, a UK-based disinfectant production company, issued a statement warning consumers not to inject or consume disinfectant products.
Disinfectants can be used to kill bacteria on the surface. Using substances that contain high concentrations of alcohol can also clean things that people have touched.
There is evidence that bacteria exposed to direct sunlight die faster. However, people do not know how strong UV rays must be and how long it takes to achieve the sterilization effect. Therefore, washing your hands and not touching your face is a safer way to prevent the new coronavirus.
Disinfectants are used to kill pathogenic microorganisms in the vector and cut the path of infection.
Disinfectants first appeared in the second half of the 19th century and are divided into alcohol disinfectants, chlorine-containing disinfectants, iodine-containing disinfectants, and peroxide-based disinfectants based on active ingredients. Chlorine-containing disinfectants are commonly used for disinfecting objects on the surface. This is also the most widely used disinfectant in common homes.
Doctors warned that President Trump’s statement about disinfectant injection can have fatal consequences, “extremely irresponsible and extremely dangerous.” People are warned not to inject disinfectant, and the smell of the poison commonly used in the family, excessive inhalation can be harmful to the body.
Doctors sing on Twitter, too: Don’t listen to Trump’s medical advice.
Faced with criticism and rebound from all sides, President Trump had to explain to reporters on Friday that he had only mocked and sarcastically told him with contempt.
However, the media still chased that Trump didn’t seem to sound like that day, nor did it appear to be ridiculous and sarcasm.
Reckitt Benckiser, a British disinfectant production company, issued a statement saying that the disinfectant products produced by the company cannot be used in humans under any circumstances, and cannot be injected, digested or in any other way.
