"But there is no evidence of people contracting it through the eyes. They are just saying it can’t be ruled out. We have yet to find a case of surface contact infection.

Colds and flu yes. Covid no."

Think about what your alleging for a nanosecond.

Cold virus via the eyes. Yes (you).
Influenza virus via the eyes. Yes (you).
HIV virus via the eyes. Yes (me).
Herpes virus via the eyes. Yes (me).
countless other viruses via the eyes. Yes (me).

Covid virus via the eyes. No (you).

What?

Even people who are not a scientist or medical professional should question that "conclusion" simply on a common sense test basis.

The mucus membranes of the eyes are vulnerable to countless other viruses, bacteria and fungi, but they block covid somehow? How does that work?

 

Why do you assume that "surface contact infection" is the ONLY way someone can get covid in the eyes? Why are you stuck on that singular mode of potential transmission for a virus?

What makes you think that? I certainly didn't bring up that topic here.

From the article that I posted that you responded to:

"When someone who has coronavirus coughs, sneezes, or talks, virus particles can spray from their mouth or nose onto your face (newsflash. your eyes are on your FACE && have mucus membranes too). You are likely to breathe these tiny droplets in through your mouth or nose. But the droplets can also enter your body through your eyes."

Do you dispute that?
Do you have evidence to say that is fake news or fake science?
Do you have evidence that says virus that lands on your face is exempt from your eyes?

Covid enters through the lungs
Cold and flu through the mucus membranes.

Your belief that Covid enters through the mucus membranes is based on your desire for it to be so. But science doesn’t bear that out. Covid is spread through the air.
