Covid-19: Trump Peddles Dangerous Cures For Coronavirus - CNN by NOETHNICITY(m): 2:07pm On Apr 24, 2020
For most of his life as a pitchman, Trump has only had his own reputation on the line. But now, in the middle of a generational health crisis, lives are at stake.

In an eye-popping moment, Trump doubled down on his claim that sunlight and the festering humidity of high summer could purge the virus in his latest grab for a game-changer therapy

Then, he asked aides on camera whether zapping patients with light or injecting disinfectant into the lungs to clean sick patients from inside could cure them of the disease.

"Maybe you can, maybe you can't. Again I say maybe you can, maybe you can't. I'm not a doctor. I'm like a person who has a good you-know-what," Trump said, pointing to his head.

That led the Reckitt Benckiser Group, which produces Lysol, to flatly announce on its website that "under no circumstance" should disinfectant be administered into the human body. Washington state's emergency management agency warned against eating Tide pods or injecting disinfectant, tweeting, "don't make a bad situation worse."

Trump's comments made his extravagant claims for the unproven use of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine seem peer-reviewed by comparison. And they were ironic, given rising criticism that he repeatedly discredits science that conflicts with his rosy claims the pandemic will soon be over.

New data Thursday showed that 26 million Americans have lost their jobs in five weeks, reflecting the terrible human impact the current emergency can have even on people who don't get sick. The number of US deaths moved towards 50,000 as the virus dug into more communities -- even as a clutch of states laid plans to open back up.

CNN, source of fake news. I personally listen to the question from the CNN journalist, the question was on the effect of sunlight on the virus presented by some specialist, which Trump commented on and appreciated, as it can help in slowing down the spread as the virus cannot survive on dry and hot surface but never mentioned that it was a cure

Nobody said anything about injecting disinfectant. He made reference to the use of UV light through intravenous means to clean the blood and also chlorine dioxide. The same chlorine used in purifying drinking water...

I really do not understand why western doctors believe that if it is a cure is not coming from pharma companies it cannot be trusted. If actually science is about observation and trying out things i don't see the reason why they normally refuse in trying other options.

Thanks for the post
