<p>In response to &#8220;speculation and social media activity&#8221; surrounding President Trump&#8217;s questions about new findings during the coronavirus briefing Thursday, RB, the maker of Lysol and Dettol, felt compelled to issue a public service announcement warning against &#8220;improper use of disinfectants.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Due to recent speculation and social media activity, RB (the makers of Lysol and Dettol) has been asked whether internal administration of disinfectants may be appropriate for investigation or use as a treatment for coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2),&#8221; reads RB&#8217;s<a href="https://www.rb.com/media/news/2020/april/improper-use-of-disinfectants/"> PSA</a> issued in response to false claims about Trump&#8217;s comments on potential treatment methods (full text of PSA below). &#8220;As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that <strong>under no circumstance</strong> should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route).&#8221;</p>
<p>The announcement comes after some social media users <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fact-check-no-trump-did-not-tell-people-to-inject-themselves-with-disinfectant-or-drink-bleach">claimed</a> that Trump told people to &#8220;inject themselves with disinfectant&#8221; and &#8220;drink bleach&#8221; in order to kill coronavirus. Among those who made the claims were Democratic activist Chris D. Jackson, who <a href="http://archive.is/qqv3c">tweeted</a> that Trump had &#8220;urged Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant,&#8221; and Jake Maccoby, a former speechwriter for the Obama Justice Department, who <a href="http://archive.is/9rcNK">tweeted</a> that Trump &#8220;told people to drink bleach.&#8221;</p>
<p>But, as The Daily Wire reported, Trump of course did not advise people to &#8220;inject themselves with disinfectant&#8221; or &#8220;drink bleach.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s comments that sparked the misrepresentations came in response to DHS Under Secretary for Science and Technology Bill Bryan <a href="https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-coronavirus-press-conference-transcript-april-23">detailing</a> some &#8220;striking&#8221; observations about what impacts the virus at a press briefing.</p>
<p>“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,&#8221; said Bryan. &#8220;We’ve seen a similar effect with both temperature and humidity as well, where increasing the temperature and humidity or both is generally less favorable to the virus.&#8221; The virus has been demonstrated to die quickly on hard surfaces, like door handles and stainless steel, when they &#8220;inject&#8221; UV rays into the mix along with high temperatures and increased humidity.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids, and I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes,&#8221; said Bryan. &#8220;Isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing. Just bring it on and leaving it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster. We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva.&#8221;</p>
<p>That prompted the following comment from Trump:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Trump:</strong> So, I’m going to ask Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.</p></blockquote>
<p>Soon after, ABC News reporter Jon Karl asked Bryan, “The president mentioned the idea of a cleaner, bleach and isopropyl alcohol emerging. There’s no scenario where that could be injected into a person, is there?”</p>
<p>&#8220;No, I’m here to talk about the finds that we had in the study,&#8221; Bryan replied. &#8220;We don’t do that within that lab at our labs.&#8221;</p>
<p>In clarification of his comments, Trump said, &#8220;It wouldn’t be through injections, you’re talking about almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big affect if it’s on a stationary object.&#8221;</p>
