You guys do know that Hydrogen Peroxide (a popular disinfectant) was administered intravenously during the Spanish Flu to great effect?

Apparently there are folks working on LED UV lights that can go down the vent tube and attack the virus in the trachea.

Cool! Why did they stop it? You don’t hear much about that for viral treatment today. Did they do it in the 57 or 68 outbreaks? Was it attempted for SARS, MERS, or Ebola?

Unproven quackery! Why would you suggest a treatment from over 100 years ago. Next up, a good blood letting!
The only places I can find are wackadoodle sites and youtube that are pushing this as a treatment for everything and anything.
The only real news sources I found were not favorable.

There's probably already a shortage.
Copper, you might want to get yours while you can.

Better approach to satirize the President than hair on fire everyone is gonna die from injecting themselves with Lysol. Nice recovery.

I respect their willingness to put themselves at risk, for science. Progress requires sacrifice.

Anyone who thinks Trump advocated anything like household disinfectants needs to try researching the context of the statement.
Immediately preceding the president's remarks, the Acting Secretary who leads the Science and Technology Directorate at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said this:
"We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. 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; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing — just spraying it on and letting 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.
This is not the end of our work as we continue to characterize this virus and integrate our findings into practical applications to mitigate exposure and transmission. I would like to thank the President and thank the Vice President for their ongoing support and leadership to the department and for their work in addressing this pandemic. I would also like to thank the scientists, not only in S&T and the NBACC, but to the larger scientific and R&D community."
The discussion then continued:
[TRUMP:]
"So I asked 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 we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that 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. It sounds interesting.
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could.
THE PRESIDENT: Right. 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.
So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s — that’s pretty powerful."

He obviously wasn't being sarcastic at the presser -- I assume he was just pissed off at the trolling reporter and lashed out intemperately.
