https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/trump-asked-nasa-if-their-technology-could-sterilize-the-inside-of-peoples-lungs-to-kill-coronavirus/According to Cleveland.com, President Donald Trump asked NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine if an experimental disinfectant fog in development at the Glenn Research Center could be used to sterilize the inside of peoples lungs to treat coronavirus.
Clevelands NASA Glenn Research Center is collaborating with a Kent-based company called Emergency Products + Research (EP+R) to develop a fogging system that can be used to decontaminate rooms and ambulances for coronavirus, reported Sabrina Eaton. Bridenstine displayed the devices for President Donald Trump during a Friday meeting at the White House.
After Bridenstine explained how AMBUStats device fogs rooms, leaving every surface in the room sterilized, Trump asked whether people could breathe it in, continued the report. Bridenstine clarified the cleansing occurs without people in the room.
This line of questioning occurred just a day after Trump caused a stir by asking his scientists at Thursdays press conference to look into the possibility of injecting people with household cleaner to get rid of the virus.
Nothing more at link.

How much longer can this go on?

The place needs to be thoroughly disinfected. Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner do resemble rats, and Mnuchin looks like a cockroach. Hopefully huffing Lysol will rid the country of all the vermin.
