I hate to say it...but this is what Donald Trump was trying to say when it was interpreted as him telling people to drink Lysol or inject bleach or whatever. I don’t like him, but this stood out - to be fair, maybe he wasn’t actually telling people to ingest household disinfectant.
“SaNOtize's nasal spray is designed designed to “disinfect” your upper airway using nitric oxide. Initial tests of the company's product suggest that the spray inactivated more than 99.9 per cent of SARs-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, within two minutes during laboratory tests.”
“You’re using a hand sanitizer to disinfect your hands. It’s a similar idea, but instead of a hand sanitizer, it’s a nasal spray to disinfect your upper airway,” SaNOtize CEO Gilly Regev told CTV Vancouver.
This is what Trump said. "I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."
Maybe someone briefed him on this research or he heard something about it, and it just sounded dumb as it came out of his mouth. But it’s along the same lines, I must admit. There’s a lot I won’t defend him on, but maybe the media ‘were’ too hard on him on this one...and due diligence might’ve turned up this research a few weeks ago.
As for the research and the findings so far...this does look pretty cool. Effective and cheap.

Could a simple gas produced by our bodies be used to treat COVID-19? Canadian trials underway
A clinical trial examining the use of nitric oxide as a treatment for COVID-19 has been expanded, as a Canadian company explores how its nasal spray might protect front-line workers and those suffering from the disease.
