An observation by a top US official that the coronavirus is quickly destroyed by sunlight led President Donald Trump to suggest a method to fight COVID-19 – injecting patients with disinfectants.It took no time for President Trump’s comments at the White House briefing to spread on social media, with scientists and researchers criticising him.William Bryan, science and technology advisor to the Department of Homeland Security secretary, told reporters at the White House that US government scientists had found ultraviolet rays had a potent impact on the pathogen, offering hope that its spread may ease over the summer. “Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have on killing the virus, both surfaces and in the air,” he said.
