Trump's Disinfectant Thing [View all]

No!
These are SURFACE active microbicides! They work on the SURFACE of objects. (They also work way faster than 1 minutes, but the CDC testing was for 1 minute. The chemical reactions with active chlorine compounds show kinetic rates that are 1/50th of that. A little extra contact time for reasons of mass transfer is useful.)
They do not work at the tiny concentration that would result from dilution in the blood stream.
This would not only be exceedingly dangerous, but also useless!
