Mouse Wizard, yes and no. I am two years younger than Trump and chemistry was not offered to me – my grades and math were not good enough. That said, most people our age know that you cannot “ingest” or “inject” disinfectants to “clean” up your lungs. His remark was not a sarcastic reply, he was being downright stupid. He should not be thinking out loud in front of television cameras.
Whirlibird, telling people such tales is not giving hope. It is just plain dangerous. He should leave the speculation and musing to the scientists. If he was paying attention to his scientists, and actually interacting with them, he would have learned a few things about treating viruses.
There are scientists and laboratories all over the world doing research. Probably on in each country. Each one is coming from a different background, perspective, and someone somewhere these researchers will find something that works.
Mr. Trump should stick to managing and not throwing out ideas.
