Trump says his remarks on using disinfectant were sarcastic

US President Donald Trump said that he was being sarcastic when he raised the possibility of using disinfectant inside people's bodies to fight coronavirus. "I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you, just to see what would happen," he told journalists at the White House. Trump said at his daily news briefing on Thursday that scientists should explore whether inserting light or disinfectant into the bodies of people infected with the new coronavirus might help them treat the disease.
