That injecting disinfectants line would be a gift to the Dems if they were on TV.

Not really. Americans are that stupid.

It was stupid of Trump to voice his inquiries about UV and injecting any kind of substance directly into the virus when it's in the body. If he was going to ask questions out in public with the media hanging around like that, he could have done so with better vocabulary or just shut up.

There have been some successful treatments involving UV, but him voicing all that on live television was just asking for another out-of-context fiasco like what happened with Charlottesville. He just doesn't learn.

There was nothing taken out of context.

In another statement he also demonstrated he has no idea what a virus is.

You guys get played by the media and never seem to bother looking into anything. That includes actually looking at full statements in context. Such examples would include his comments on Charlottesville and also his comments on "Mexican rapists". And none of you even realize you've done it, but I see it clearly.

I'm not saying his grasp on language is good. Because he clearly isn't giving it nearly as much thought as it deserves. But he never told people to inject bleach, swallow bleach, whatever. Anyone who watched more than 30 seconds clips of the entire press conference clearly saw him responding to statements made about sunlight, UV, etc. from his own experts.

I read that and it sounded like he was tired of asking questions about it. So he starts riffing pseudoscientifcally about using sunlight in vivo. Does riffing pseudoscientifcally prove his grasp on language is not good? It doesn't prove it to me.

I don't want to get the debate what Trump actually meant by the bleach comment, but because the topic of bleach has been brought up ... Sodium hydroxide from bleach always has the potential to kill viruses in vitro. I mean that is the reason why people clean and disinfect surface areas with bleach. However sodium hydroxide in vivo would strip the of cells thus destroying them. And that is the reason why you shouldn't drink bleach, cause it contain sodium hydroxide. The short of it, don't drink bleach. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Another important note while on the subject of bleach: you should NOT combine ammonia and bleach when cleaning. One is good but two isn't better, the combination of the two is deadly toxic.

I don't get where he misspoke on the topic of viruses per se. When I read it, I didn't see him mention viruses. Maybe if you have the full transcript where he's demonstrating this lack of viral knowledge this would be interesting to read. In my opinion what he was alluding to in that brief statement are pathogens (whlch he calls "germs e.g. strains of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that causes diseases) that become resistant to anti-bodies, these pathogens are aka "super bugs." I don't get where he misspoke on the topic of viruses. "Super bugs" are something that the medical and scientific communities are very concern about.

He clearly didn’t understand that antibiotics are useless against viruses.
