Coronavirus: Outcry after Trump suggests injecting disinfectant as treatment
US President Donald Trump has been lambasted by the medical community after suggesting research into whether coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant into the body.
He also appeared to propose irradiating patients' bodies with UV light, an idea dismissed by a doctor at the briefing.
Another of his officials had moments earlier said sunlight and disinfectant were known to kill the infection.
Disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.
Even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.
Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what." (So he's just like a person with a good you-know-what... wtf does that actually mean?)

How many people will be made ill or killed when they inject disinfectant?
UV light can kill the virus, but is it UV-A, UV-B or UV-C? UV will not affect the virus in the blood or lungs, but may cause burns and/or skin cancer

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
