I drive people for LYFT approximately 5 hours every day. They always ask me why I'm not afraid. (No mask, gloves, etc.)
I simply tell them that the 100,000 people who have died from Covid-19 and Flu combined this year, only amount to 3/100th of 1% (0.03%) of the U.S. population. Not worth being concerned about odds of dying which are that small. Then they complain about how the media and governor makes it seem so bad. Depending on the person, I'll either explain the Hoax, or just shrug my shoulders and blame it on politics.
Q But I — just, can I ask about — the President mentioned the idea of cleaners, like bleach and isopropyl alcohol you mentioned. There’s no scenario that that could be injected into a person, is there? I mean —
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: No, I’m here to talk about the findings that we had in the study. We won’t do that within that lab and our lab. So —
THE PRESIDENT: It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.
Q Mr. Bryant, are we simplifying it too much by saying that it’d be better with the warmer weather and the sun coming out more and more, that people would be outside than staying inside their home, confined to the four walls of their house?
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: It would be irresponsible for us to say that we feel that the summer is just going to totally kill the virus and that if it’s a free-for-all and that people ignore those guidelines. That is not the case.
We have an opportunity, though, to get ahead with what we know now and factor that into the decision making for what opens and what doesn’t.
THE PRESIDENT: But so are you saying, on surfaces, the heat, the hot summer, and whatever other conditions — humidity and lack of humidity — that that would have an impact so that on surfaces, where it can be picked up, it will die fairly quickly in the summer, whereas in the winter, it wouldn’t die so quickly?
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: Yes, Mr. President. When it’s exposed to UV rays — take playground equipment, for example: The UV rays hitting a piece of playground equipment will kill the virus when it hits that — when it hits on the playground equipment. But underneath, where the sun does not get, if someone touched that and had it on their hands, it could still be there, right? Because it has to be in direct light of the UV rays.
THE PRESIDENT: If it’s on somebody’s hands, right?
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: And they haven’t touched their face and all of the things that we’ve all been —
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: If it’s exposed to the sun, it’ll —

In an email to employees obtained by Deadline, Zucker wrote that they are currently at about 10% of their workforce around the globe still going to their offices, and that number will increase to around 15% in early June.
Great conversation with President Lenin Moreno of the Republic of Equador. We will be sending them desperately needed Ventilators, of which we have recently manufactured many, and helping them in other ways. They are fighting hard against CoronaVirus!

Sunlight can equal vitamin D, so the "hint" might be the virus' can reveal that a person has a vitamin D deficiency. Common in winter months, or among the vampire class.
Sanitizing Light: LEDs Become a Disinfectant Technology
A new use of light emitting diodes (LED) has emerged. LED light is killing bacteria, fungus and mold, and the scientific community has validated the results. Lab researchers, diode fabricators and fixture manufacturers are working to market LEDs that are an effective and safer disinfectant than ultraviolet (UV) light, while also offering a much longer operational life. This newfound application could be a game-changer.
A pioneer in researching visible light disinfection, the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, reported in 2008 it had discovered a proper blue-light wavelength of high-intensity visible light using LEDs that could deactivate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other strains of bacteria. Intensities of 400 to 420 nanometers (nm) did the trick, 405 being the sweet spot for bacteria deactivation. In 2012, LED work continued with blue light disinfecting other bacteria including listeria and E. coli. Then and now, the university licenses its patented LED technology. Other supportive domestic research over the last five years has included work by the Harvard Medical School in Boston and the Department of Defense Infectious Diseases Service at San Antonio Military

So Trumped mentioned injecting disinfectant in the briefing today. He was talking about getting Light in the body.
And then he does say injecting disinfectant. I looked it up and I found this
Intraperitoneal Infusion of Neutral-pH Superoxidized Solution in Rats: Evaluation of Toxicity and Complications on Peritoneal Surface and Liver
So he may be referring to super-oxidized water as the disinfectant more info
It’s used in healing wounds and apparently it’s safe on the livers of rats.
