US President Donald Trump has caused a huge uproar in his country after arguing that ultraviolet radiation use and disinfectant like bleach should be tested for patients. Dozens of doctors and health scientists were interviewed in the various media and rejected the words of the President.
Rakit Bankiser, which manufactures the most commonly used disinfectant in the US, Lysol, issued a statement on its website stating that "there is no internal use of our products to treat Corona. The company's announcement did not specifically address the president's remarks, but merely stated that the announcement was due to "allegations made in the matter."
Many doctors and health experts were interviewed by the US media and rejected the president's suggestion: "It's an irresponsible and dangerous idea," NBC told Dr. Vin Gupta, a world-renowned lung disease expert. , Gupta said, adding, "It is very depressing to hear the White House is engaged in promoting unfounded medical ideas."
The White House was quick to claim that the president's comments were out of context. White House Communications Secretary Kylie M. Kennani released a statement saying, "The President has said time and time again that US citizens should consult a physician before any treatment for corona disease. He repeatedly emphasized this in his own statement. Suitable for the media to irresponsibly take and distort Trump's remarks. "
The president's remarks sparked an outrage during a press conference. The president said, "You have to check if there is a way to inject, almost like a kind of cleansing, disinfectant. Maybe it is possible, and maybe it is not possible. I am not a doctor, I am just someone with 'you know what' is successful," the president said, nodding.
Meanwhile, Trump signed legislation today to allow $ 439 billion in aid to the US economy, $ 250 billion to be spent on the Small Business Loan Fund, which announced last week that it has run out of funding for additional loans. 26 million people across the United States have filed since the outbreak of the Corona crisis
