Virologist hospitalized with coronavirus believes he got it through his eyes.

"We tend to pay attention to the nose and mouth," the doctor said. "But you know, droplets landing on your eyes are just as infectious."

So now we need masks covering our whole face?!

Exactly why masks are useless. And why infection rates have not changed.

Totally absurd! You wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth. You were protective eyewear/goggles, to cover your eyes!

Top everything off with a face shield, and you're as safe as anyone out there, except the hazmat crews with their own oxygen supplies.

And, of course you see people everywhere wearing goggles?

Interesting! I have been trying to find a little key chain magnifying glass to use in stores so wouldn’t have to wear my fogged up glasses to see the smallest print on goods.

Who cares what you see? Wear goggles or safety glasses, or get the virus. It's your life......

Get Quick Spit! No fogging, ever again. I use it in the trees, in 100ºF weather, wearing a sawdust mask. No problems. Great stuff!

Oh swell. Ya know what? Sometimes I'm just ready to go out and scream, "Bring it, virus!" I'll either get over it or I won't. Whatever! The problem is, I don't want anyone I know or care about to get it. But for myself, I'm willing to take the odds, just to get past it. Just how I feel. But that's the thing. It's not just me. It's my family and friends. I would gladly take this virus on, if I knew my loved ones would be OK.
