They had an expert explain what was going on with this research but Trump tried to add to the discussion. They are only at the disinfection stage which is what UV is used for. Now there are people who are using this on people but there is no data to support that the level needed to kill the virus can be achieved by using it on people without side effects.
After the guy gave his presentation Trump got involved with his comments
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting.
So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.
THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it 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. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.
The guys presentation was that it we can kill the virus on surfaces as a disinfectant which they were testing. Do not know why they just don't go to the people who do this and compare notes.
Trump did say - hit the body with UV light and then he went further about bringing it inside the body.

The problem is not the technology but its trump ad libbing which shows no understanding of what the guy just said. The guy says were at stage 1 and trump jumps to stage 3.
brain storming isn't needed as republicans are gullible enough
The International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) and
RadTech North America are educational and advocacy organizations consisting of UV equipment vendors, scientists, engineers, consultants, and members of the medical profession. We would like to inform the public that there are
no protocols to advise or to permit the safe use of UV light directly on the human body at the wavelengths and exposures proven to efficiently kill viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. UV light under the conditions known to kill such viruses are also known to cause severe skin burns, skin cancer, and eye damage.
We strongly recommend that anyone using UV light to disinfect medical equipment, surfaces, or air in the context of COVID-19, applications that are supported by sound scientific evidence, follow all recommended health and safety precautions and to avoid direct exposure of the body to the UV light.
