Actually I read the whole article, what's your point? What are your thoughts on the article? Do you have anything to contribute?

Folks, all we need to do is ingest a little bit of sunlight and POOF the virus is gone.

It’s not being discussed more because it’s irrelevant nonsense. Viruses live and reproduce inside living bodies where it’s dark. Unless licking public benches is your normal operating procedure, this information doesn’t change anything practically.
Anyone who has been to colorado knows it doesn’t get that cold here
I think today it was in the 70s?

Sunlight kills the virus the same way soap and water kills the virus. Outside of the body. Once it’s in your body it’s a completely different problem.
You did not read article. If you did, you wouldn’t have posted it. It means nothing more than “bleach kills the virus in seconds”. It’s the same line of thinking as Trump.
“Oh, bleach kills the virus?” Well maybe we can drink bleach.
Sunlight converts cholesterol to vitamin D in the skin, which in tune helps fight infection. So yup, it works from the inside too.

Whatever snowboarder punk.
It will be 84 degrees here tomorrow morning when I run while you turds smoking weed will be at 50 degrees in CS.
Suckers!! Hahaaa. Hope more Californians go there and raise your real estate more. Hahahaa..
The problem with heat over 90f is that wealthier people stay indoors then, just like they do when it's cold outside. When they leave their air conditioned homes, they drive around in their air conditioned cars and walk into other air conditioned buildings, instead of actually spending time outside. They refuse to acclimate.
face it Covid 19 was the biggest scam of our lifetimes. The democrats tried to take down the nation because it was the only way to try and stop Trump. They failed. Trump will be re-elected and hopefully they will face the full penalty for TREASON.

Trolling level really did come down these days.
You know, there are hospitals treating cancer and hepatitis with Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation UBI machines Also trials on going that show promising results against other viruses.

I agree for the most part. Being close to other people in large crowds outside would still not be advisable because you are worried about getting breathed on in the instant. Beyond that, it gets dispersed by the wind anyway.
This does suggest that it's safe to reopen outdoor playgrounds though. At least on sunny days on the sunny sides. My state is going to reopen playgrounds soon.

Many people mocking, but ultraviolet irradiation of the blood is a known treatment.

The problem is that Trump, who has no medical training and famously does not pay attention to qualified experts, was speculating wildly while speaking at press conference. The youtube link you posted shows a local news story that probably should not have run, without at least a qualified doctor to comment. Snake oil.
This IV light thing changes nothing. Yes it is good for us to spend some time outside, but if we all go out at the same time, and without taking precautions, it will inevitably lead to many more cases of Covid-19.

Just to be clear: I'm not pushing IV light infusions or defending Trump, just pointing out the media's hypocrisy and how lazy and ill-informed most of the press is. (I used to be a journalist, so this is my bailiwick.)
A simple online search would reveal to any reporter with an ounce of curiosity that IV light infusions are indeed "a thing" - and both the theory and application of this treatment have a history that goes back nearly 100 years.
How much does one of these treatments cost? Is it a practical solution to a pandemic for mass quantities of people (ie, more available than ventilators)? And what about injecting disinfectants? Is that a reasonable and practical solution?
Any politician in a time of crisis should be reassuring people with the best things they can do for self and societal protection. He/She should listen to experts on the subject when he/she is NOT an expert. Those expert's ideas should then be used to guide policies and tempered with the things they may have more expertise like economics.
The truth is that COVID-19 is a new thing. Data is changing constantly and therefore so is the modeling and the plan for fighting it. People need to listen to the latest info, but also understand that if there was a magic bullet to fix it, it would have already been used. Now studies are showing that having COVID-19 may not make people immune. So we have a virus that spreads easily, no vaccine, limited other means to fight it, and no one has immunity and possibly may not even after having it.

This is why Trump will be reelected this Fall. This worldwide conspiracy against him and our liberties will galvanize his base and others fed up with their discomfort and the media.
Just happened across this thread. I've been wondering, 'what is a virus'? Is it alive? It turns out that is an on-going subject of debate in the scientific community. Here is Part I of a not-too-dense article that sheds some light on these questions.
https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2020/04/02/whats-a-virus-anyway-part-1-the-bare-bones-basics/
Part II is here:
So, 'maybe' . . . if you accept the proposition that viruses are inert particles (on their own), versus life forms, then maybe the language in talking about defeating/controlling/stopping them is more rightly 'de-activating' (or similar) . . . versus 'killing' them. Words matter, but in this case, I'm not smart enough to determine exactly how, . . . or, whether it matters much here in the case of stopping or eradicating COVID-19.
Interesting to read the 'why' about soap being so effective: . . .
"Some viruses also wear greasy overcoats, called envelopes, made from stolen shards of the membranes of the last cell they infected. Influenza and hepatitis C viruses have envelopes, as do coronaviruses, herpesviruses and HIV. Rhinoviruses, which are responsible for most common colds, and polioviruses don't. Here's a practical takeaway: Enveloped viruses particularly despise soap because it disrupts greasy membranes. Soap and water are to these viruses what exhaling garlic is to a vampire, which is why washing your hands works wonders."
