  • more than 50,000 people have now died in America with Corona virus.

  • It comes as one of the world's biggest manufacturers of disinfectants warned people not to follow President Trump's suggestion that injecting themselves with it could treat Corona virus.

  • One leading company said.

  • Under no circumstance should its products be put into human bodies.

  • The president today said his remarks have been sarcastic on North America editor John So Paul has more.

  • Controversially, some of Florida's beaches reopened last week.

  • But maybe it was a smart thing to do.

  • According to new research conducted by U.

  • S government scientists.

  • Sunlight, heat and humidity dramatically reduced the life of Corona virus in the air and on hard surfaces.

  • The scientists said it acted as a powerful disinfectant on that led the president to muse on whether disinfectant could be used inside the human body to kill the virus.

  • And then I see the disinfectant, knocks it out in a minute, one minute and is there a way we could do something like that by injection inside for almost a cleaning because you see gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number will also be interesting to check the president's chief medical adviser looked as though should have liked Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility in a minute.

  • New Life All Sprayed Isn't Back.

  • For over a century, Lie Soul has been one of America's top selling brands of bleach.

  • But today, in 2020 the manufacturers felt forced to issue a statement saying, Under no circumstances should people ingest disinfectant.

  • Doctors, health professionals and politicians are similarly disbelieving very clearly disinfectants or not intended for ingestion, either by mouth by ears by breathing them in any way, shape or form.

  • But today the president has sought to explain away the controversy by asserting that he wasn't actually being serious.

  • But I was asking to start casting in a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside.

  • But it does kill it, and it would kill it on the hands.

  • And that would make things much better.

  • That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters.

  • Another question being asked forcibly, is whether now is the right time to reopen the U.

  • S.

  • Economy.

  • In Georgia today, hairdressers, nail salons, tattoo parlors were able to resume business even though Corona virus is still a serious problem in the state.

  • Now leave to, uh, inside the question of whether sarcasm is quite appropriate from the presidential podium in the midst of a pandemic.

  • Donald Trump's account is not exactly what happened.

  • I was at last night's briefing on his remarks were Indrek addressed entirely not to the reporters but to his chief medical adviser, Andan official from the Department of Homeland Security.

  • And he seemed deadly serious.

  • Now the White House has been scrambling all day to come up with an explanation that will withstand scrutiny.

  • It's not entirely clear that this is it.

  • John Disciple.

  • Thank you.
