An expert claims that deadly coronavirus can be spread through the EYES after he contracted the disease, despite wearing a protective mask.
Dr. Wang Guangfa has now theorized the similar coronavirus may be transmitted through the eye after testing positive following an eye infection.
Mr. Wang was a leading figure in the fight against SARS virus that gripped China in 2003. We thought that this was the worst cover-up made by the communist government in China, but we thought wrong as nurse wearing a protective suit and face mask treating the sick in Wuhan has claimed that 90,000 people have already been infected by the coronavirus in China far more than the figure of just 1,400 issued by government officials.
Her warning from the heart of the outbreak emerged as the Chinese government faced accusations of censoring criticism of its handling of the disease in order to play down the crisis.
Speaking in video footage seen online, the unnamed woman says: Im in the area where the coronavirus started. Im here to tell the truth. At this moment, Hubei province, including Wuhan area, even China, 90,000 people have been infected by coronavirus.

The Spanish Flu had people wearing masks. Trouble is viruses are quite small and can pass though. Another reason the Spanish Flu killed so many is that viruses were unknown at the time. This virus has already been mapped so a cure is a real possibility.
How does a Chicom nurse get that 90,000 number...?
I think it would depend upon the virus, and what environments the ‘surface’ had been exposed to, for how long, etc.
Fortunately I wear glasses and I thank the lord I never listened to my mother.........
Wearing glasses or even goggles isn’t going to protect you, if you forget and touch your eyes with buggy fingers.
I was in the grocery yesterday, and gave myself a little experiment before I left - how long could I go without inadvertently touching some part of my face?
It was about a minute-and-a-half, after I commandeered a shopping cart and entered.
I think Vigilance would aid us more in this possible scenario than ‘equipment’.
Part of wearing a mask and eyewear is to remind you not to touch your face. Yeah - hard to do. (Just thinking about it - now I have to itch my nose!)
That’s exactly what happened to me :-)
I had no mask to ‘remind’ me; but you could easily come home, take your gear off, and touch your face before washing your hands. Many viruses can live a long time on surfaces, especially on human skin.
I think the frequent and vigorous hand washing/rubbing under running water is one of our best first defenses.
Three things my mother taught me"
1. Stop doing that or you'll go blind......(That's why I now wear glasses)
2. Keep you fingers out of your nose
3. Keep your fingers out of your eyes, especially if they have been in your nose......
4. Just because you read it on the internet doesn't mean it's true.......
LOL!
Good question. If NYC was experiencing a viral outbreak and quarantined, would we expect a nurse at Bellevue to know how many people in the city were infected?
