Published



CNN host and quarantine-breaker Chris Cuomo took President Trump’s inaccurate musings about whether disinfectants such as bleach and isopropyl alcohol, which kill the coronavirus on surfaces, could be used on the human body to cure someone already infected to task on Thursday.

“The study was about surfaces though, and what kind of light or other type of treatments and different media you could use to affect viruses on surfaces, not in the human body,” Cuomo said of the studies Trump referenced. “And the idea of household disinfectants inside the body, I mean, we can’t say enough, nobody was briefed on that. There is no science behind that. The only question is where the president got this or what did he misinterpret.”
