The transmission mechanism.

As infectious disease specialists and epidemiologists race to contain the outbreak of the novel coronavirus centered on Wuhan, China, they’re getting back up that’s been possible only since the explosion in genetic technologies: a deep-dive into the DNA of the virus known as 2019-nCoV.
Analyses of the viral genome are already providing clues to the origins of the outbreak and even possible ways to treat the infection, a need that is becoming more urgent by the day: Early on Saturday in China, health officials reported 15 new fatalities in a single day, bringing the death toll to 41. There are now nearly 1,100 confirmed cases there.
More bad news came in as expert claimes that deadly coronavirus can be spread through the EYES after he contracted the disease, despite wearing a protective mask.

Cronovirus going for the eyes eh? Man that doesn’t sound like nightmare fuel at all.
Goggle makers will do well.
Nonsense. Yes, a virus can enter through the eyes. No, that does not mean a mask is useless.
The only answer is to tie a plastic bag over your head tight.
“More bad news came in as expert ***claim(e)s*** 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.”

“Report: Protective Masks Are Useless – Coronavirus Also Spreads Through The EYES “
yup- that’s why I’m taping my eyes shut till this is all over
Especially after grinding digit in it.
Agreed. For one thing eyes don’t cough.
perhaps the high concentration of germs in a small area was a factor?
Time to read up on the Spanish Flu...
The transmission mechanism.
We’ve known this since early days of this, as first doc said they acquired infection, even though masks were worn. They got infected via eyes.

Friends. I did some rabbit holing last night on oregano oil and proven effects against corona viruses. May be another thing to make sure you have enough of along with starting today to get your blood levels of vitamin d optimum high. It can take a month if you are low to get vitamin d levels high enough.
LOL.funny. :)
This,in case you ain’t skert enough yet. We’re all DOOMED+
the way it spreads os an infected person coughs into their hands, or even without covering mouth- the virus lands on a surface (Do NOT look up videos of how far a cough or sneeze can travel, it’s gross)- an uninfected person comes along, touches the surface, later rubs their eyes (People touch their faces many times subconsciously during a day), and it gets in through the eyes-
We can delay the chance of getting it by wearing masks, and trying to to rub eyes or touch face,- but really, it can’t be stopped, and people will eventually get it
Eyes?!
Sorry - I call BS.
Unless you TOUCH the person’s eyes or their tears and then it enters your mouth or bloodstream - yes. But there’s no way on earth just looking at each other is going to transmit a virus.
I saw a rumor it can spread through the ear canal. Is this a troll or can anyone verify?
