Well the Joke writes itself if you did. Like your fellow ilks on the first page are all supporters of Buhari but hating on Trump. The joke writes it's self.

So one can’t dislike both Buhari and Trump?

Joke’s on you apparently.

Im referring to UV injection which could also be seen as UV bombardment. Below are definitions of injection. Check no 3.

Fair enough, though I protest that quote 3 is a figure of speech, and that when people hear inject in medical context... that's not what they have in mind.

For all his supporters. Please be sincere and watch the video again.

Notice that as he was talking, he was looking at Dr Birx and kept saying , " you said we were going to try this and that.... bla bla bla". From his tone and authoritative demeanor , you will think himself and Birx have discussed it before they came in to the room. But look at the video below and see the woman's reactions to all his ramblings.

Be ashamed of your self Oga. For a sane mind to even consider injecting disinfectant into a life body is stupidity beyond measures. No one could have ever predicted someone as dumb as Trump would one day be world's most powerful person.

Even our people here in Nigeria began to rush Chloroquine in pharmacies not knowing that the Chloroquine available in pharmacies is Chloroquine Phosphate AND NOT HydroxylChloroquine which Trump talked about.
You can see the confusion that unguarded statements by political leaders can cause even thousands of miles away..

This man didn't mean they should inject humans with disinfectant, speaking like a layman, if experts said the virus dies quickly under sunlight or when in contact with disinfectant, why not follow the same trend and do something that would act like the disinfectant does and inject same into human bodies to get same results, of course any suggestions must be clinically tested before administration. His statement is literally, he is helpless as it stands now, anything that would bring solutions he will accept wholeheartedly, Americans are dieing in thousands and science is unable to find solutions.

President Trump suggestion is give scientific guildline. no matter how much sun radiator on body, its drop to 37`0c in human body. if body temperature rise to 40`0c. its can affect kidney, and the covid-19, can survive in 65`0c temperature.a temperature above 70`0c will kill virus inside the human body. and no vaccine can increase body temperature to that extend. once the half life of the virus can be kill by sun heat from 18hour on surface to 2min death, so science need to work on that either by drugs or any means that we not affect human being to treat covid-19, oxford adenovirus from chimpazee vaccine is still on testing to approve. so life of victim need immediately respond.

He was just suggesting and not implementing. Your president don’t even have any idea in his head to suggest and you people don’t call him names.

Oh, we call our president names all the time; particularly as he says too little, giving the impression he does not care. When he does deign to give a speech, there's very little real content of value.

Potentially dangerous suggestions are better left unsaid. The medial community and manufactures understand this and have issues warnings - because they know there are people who will take these suggestions at face value and implement them.

A president who understands his people would not make medically-unsound suggestions.

Except the man never said disinfectant like spray or bleach, he was talking about using light to disinfect the body, this treatment while unproven or untested is certainly a possibility that should be looked at for crucial cases especially since warmer regions are showing more resistance to the virus than colder ones. The way the opening post was written suggested he was talking about your household disinfectants like Dettol or something.

I don't need no post, I watched the actual presentation and someone has posted it. He rambles like a kid...never finishing one sentence before jumping to the other..and I know what I heard and every other intelligent and no biased persons understands what he said.
He said if there is a way they can bring the light inside the body, that they should test that...then he move on to disinfectants, that it knocks out the virus in a minute, then if there is a way we can do something like that..in reference to bringing it inside the body like light..then he specifically said by injection inside...inside what...again..is it not the body..
I don't know how you want to twist that
Whatever the case he should give his suggestions during the hours of briefings to his people and get them to work on it and not come and spout half-baked ideas to the world

Yes internally. How do you think UV light works for killing cancer cells in Phototherapy?

UV rays are injected into the body using light beams to kill off cancer cells.

You know, your attempt at justifying the indefensible is getting really ridiculous and you are just proving that you are trying to cover up something with your very weak arguments.

See, you need to understand that Trump's bungle does not absolve Buhari of incompetence and cluelessness. They are not linked as you guys are making it look like. So there is nothing bad in admitting Trump messed up while you still continue to criticize your President.

In the transcript which I'm sure you have read, Trump clearly mentioned the UV light issue first and then went on to talk about ANOTHER option which was the disinfectant and that was the point he used the word "injection". In the transcript, the two options were presented in separate paragraphs indicating he was talking about two different things.

In English, register of words is important. You don't "inject" UV light into someone in medical parlance. You "beam" UV light. The term "injection" is used for penetration of liquid into the body via a syringe, or similar device. It's like saying you want to inseminate light. How?? Also, the example you quoted was totally irrelevant as it referred to abstract qualities i.e she injected scorn into her voice, CR7 injected some pace into his play, etc This cannot be your support for "injecting" UV light which would have been yet another gaffe.

You know, you can also build credibility when you are man enough to own up to your mistakes and make lemonade out of lemons! So just give it a rest with all these lamely defensive attempts that will make you look extremely dumb which I believe you are not.

You clearly didn’t watch it or are in denial trying to spin what he said...

He said, supposed ‘we bring it inside the body...by injection...’ and suggesting it should be tested.

He mentioned bringing it inside lungs as well....and that it should be tested.

The guy is senile and a mental case...stop defending stupidity. Trump himself acknowledged that he said it today, but deflected that he was joking, we know he was not...he meant what he was saying and thought he was contributing something sensible, but as usual he was speaking like a four year old.

No where in Trump's statement did he used"another'.

One question. Can light be injected? Yes or No?

I watched it myself and he never said that, no reasonable person would suggest drinking bleach to cure a virus, he was referring to light and heat therapy as a way to disinfect the body, maybe you have a hard time understanding how Trump talks, maybe you're fascinated by the media spin on thinsg but let's use common sense here, can Trump himself DRINK BLEACH?

Here’s a transcript of what he said.
You guys can have a field day twisting yourselves into weird shapes trying to defend the indefensible.

Even suggesting the UV light is something he had no business doing. Considering the side effects can be disastrous. I’m saying this for those hung up twisting it to around to seem like he meant injecting UV therapy. Even if he did mean that, it was a dangerous suggestion and he should learn to stfu. But clearly he was talking about injecting disinfectant. The time he mentioned UV light, he said through the skin. It wasn’t until he mentioned disinfectant that he said injection.

You folks are unbelievable.

It was a goddamn question to Bryan!

If you watched the video, he was speaking to Bryan, asking if that was possible. Saying it's a suggestion is being "disingenuous."

He's asked plenty of questions in his briefings to experts on the podium, whether it's about the absolute mortality rate or the effect of the seasons on spread. Normal people don't watch that and decide he's prescribing an injection of disinfectant as a treatment. Normal people watch that and the takeaway is that he's having a back-and-forth with an expert and asking a layman question.

That's how the WT reported that he suggested nuking a hurricane, when it was a layman question during a briefing with experts.

Can we make an explosion to change the path or defuse the strength of an hurricane?
Can we inject something that kills the virus in-vitro as quickly as disinfectants do on surfaces?

Would knowledgeable people in explosive ordnance and health ask such questions, no?
Does it mean anyone who asks such questions is an "id*ot," no?

I'm pretty certain you're a doofus in economy, quantum mechanics, sociology, crystallography, and a million other fields; and that most of your questions remotely related to said fields would sound like you were celebrating 420 to anyone with above average expertise.

Now it'd be all well and good if the backlash was in good faith, like when Trudeau made his "speaking moistly" tip, which is nothing like this by the way. That made the rounds in social media and was a good laugh for everyone irrespective of political bend. But you're literally calling Trump and his teeming supporters wack jobs because a boss asked a lay question to a more knowledgeable underling. Trump is a billionaire, he has made billions of similar off-the-cuff, outside-of-the-box inquisitions to subordinates in meetings, on the call, and everywhere.

This should not even be a conversation much more a news story much more a talking point. But here I am explaining to a full-grown supposedly-educated adult that no one knows everything and how conversations between a President and a subordinate works.

disinfectants like Dettol or something.

His quotes:
"Supposing we hit the body with tremendous ultraviolet or very powerful light"
"I've seen the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute... do something like that, like injection inside..."

Upon hearing the phrase "disinfectant"... most people will reach for bleach and dettol.
Did you know that a ton of bacteria and viruses die in the sun or upon exposure to disinfectants on surfaces? We might as well stop making medicines, because, you know, "we can just inject people with dettol since it acts the same way"

If a leader is helpless, it's far better to say: "the medical community is working hard on a solution", and leave it at that, rather than give the impression he has any clue what he's talking about to save face - while potentially exposing people to hazards.
