Insanity On Parade -- or -- How The Media Responds To Trump

Yesterday, the head of one of the DHS advanced labs reported at the corona virus press briefing that after detailed testing, they had determined that the virus dies quickly when exposed to ultraviolet light like that in sunlight.  He also reported that the virus survives for a shorter time in warm humid spaces compared to dry, cool locations.  Finally, he mentioned that ethyl alcohol was the quickest way to sanitize a surface that has been exposed to the virus.

When the report was done, President Trump asked if there was anyway to use this information in a therapeutic manner.  Could exposing a patient to UV light actually work as a cure or a therapy?  Could the alcohol be used in some way to help treat the virus?

The President did exactly what the Democrats say they want to happen.  He heard what the scientists were finding and then he asked about it.  His questions were quite good.

The media and the Democrats went berserk in response.  Senile Old Joe Biden tweeted to mock Trump for talking about UV light and disinfectant.  Joe said we need more tests.  Interesting, isn't it, that Old Joe wanted to ignore the science and just stick to his predetermined course that only more testing could help.

On stations like MSNBC and CNN, they twisted what Trump said into his calling for people to inject themselves with Lysol or some other disinfectant.  Trump didn't say that or even anything like that, but it didn't matter.  The leftwing media just attacked him for something he didn't even say.

But here's the kicker.  There actually is a device being used in some hospitals in which UV light is put into the lungs of people with pneumonia.  Someone who has had a breathing tube inserted gets a thin catheter put down the tube and into the lung.  LED lights then emit the UV light which has the effect of killing viruses and bacteria in the lungs.  It is supposed to treat lung infections including those like the ones caused by the corona virus.  The company that makes the device is called Healight.

What that means is that the Dems and the media are mocking Trump for asking what they describe as an idiotic question when the very thing he asked about is actually already in use in the fight against pneumonia.  Simply put, it is the Dems and the media that has taken an idiotic position. 

These fools need to learn that just because they want the President to be wrong, that doesn't make him wrong.  We can't decide that only certain therapies for corona virus are politically correct.  Lives are at stake, and ignoring science and relying on preconceived ideas is a really poor course to follow. 

I would like to see the Dems apologize or at least admit that they were wrong.  It won't happen, but it still would be nice to see.
