当地时间23日的白宫记者会上，美国国土安全部官员表示，据最新研究结果，新冠病毒在强光高温条件下，存活率会大幅降低；部分消毒液成分对杀死新冠病毒有较明显效果。

　　随后，美国总统特朗普抓住其中“重点”，提出了一些“惊人”的治疗建议，其中包括注射消毒液（disinfectant）杀病毒。

　　他说：“我注意到消毒液在一分钟内就消灭病毒，仅用一分钟。有没有办法给身体内注射消毒液，让它进入肺部清洁，我认为这很有趣。”

　　"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 would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds, it sounds interesting to me.”

　　他还当场让白宫疫情应对协调员Deborah Birx博士向医生咨询，热和光是否能用来对付病毒。

He also asked Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House pandemic response coordinator, to ask doctors whether heat and light could be used to treat the virus.

　　一向十分附和特朗普的Deborah Birx博士（戳相关新闻）当即表示，这不能作为治疗手段……

"Not as a treatment," she said. "Certainly fever is a good thing, when you have a fever, it helps your body respond. But I have not seen heat or light…"“不能作为治疗手段。”她说：“当然发热是件好事，你发热的时候，身体就会做出响应。但我没见过热和光可以……”

　　特朗普“不死心”地说，“我认为这是件值得琢磨的好事儿。”

     "I think it's a great thing to look at," Trump responded.

　　不出意料，特朗普此番言论一出，立刻引起舆论哗然。

　　据美国全国广播公司（NBC）报道，包括肺脏学家、全球健康政策专家Vin Gupta博士在内的多位医疗专家，对特朗普这一“不合适的健康信息”提出了质疑。

Medical professionals, including Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist, global health policy expert, were quick to challenge the president's "improper health messaging."

　　Gupta博士指出，注射或喝下任何清洁消毒产品的想法是不负责任且危险的，这是人们自杀时常用手段之一。

“This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it’s dangerous," said Gupta. "It’s a common method that people utilize when they want to kill themselves."
