There was a study fairly recently showing that sunlight (UV) kills the virus. I suspect he just saw that, or maybe it was on Fox News, and he picked it up from there. Similarly, there were some preliminary studies that showed effectiveness of HCLQ, which he latched onto and ran with.

No, if you watch the clip the speaker before him mentioned how long the virus survives under UV and disinfectants. He literally just took that and went "well maybe we can put them in the body?"
