While I agree the sarcasm comment was probably covering down on a stupid statement, I’ve listened to the full statement 45 made more than a few times.
At no point did he say anything other than he’s not an MD but it would be worth investigating if there were a way to kill an infection in the lungs, which is one of several ways the virus attacks the body.
So far, studies submitted for peer review indicate several different mechanisms can go out of whack. One is a cytokine storm that we overloads the immune response. Another is a unique pneumonia that results in extremely low O2 saturation (on the order of 50% pulse ox levels) that presents as late stage pneumonia. A third study indicates cardiomyopathy.
What all that means is that the virus has a large toolbox it can go to to keep itself alive in the body. But, for some reason, certain demographics are much less susceptible than others for these various attacks. Another apparently permanents dermatologically on the feet.
The only thing I will say is that so much is not known about this virus and the various ways it attacks the body is that anything (other than most otherwise healthy people will respond with a mild to moderate case) taken as definitive should be questioned.
