Doctors and specialists in the scientific community criticized the idea of injecting new coronavirus patients with disinfection materials, after the American president hinted that this measure could be applied to fight infection.
Chest pathologist, Vin Gupta, said in an interview with NBC News that injecting or swallowing any kind of disinfectant is a dangerous and irresponsible idea, adding that "this is common among people who want to end their lives, not the opposite."
"As a doctor, I do not recommend injecting disinfectants into the lungs or using ultraviolet (UV) radiation inside the body to treat the Corona virus," West Virginia worker wrote on Twitter. "Do not take medical advice from Trump."
Trump said during a White House press conference that the idea of injecting Coffid-19 patients with disinfection materials seemed interesting to me.
The US president also suggested exposing the body to the strong effects of ultraviolet radiation or simply to very strong light, with the aim of treating patients with the virus.
That is crazy. Super dangerous to do this and I hope no one does.
Happy Friday!
Trump is the definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
