Report: Protective Masks Are Useless – Coronavirus Also Spreads Through The EYES

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.

Can we send Adam Schiff for brains to Wuhann asap. With his bug eyes he might as well mainline it.

be careful with oregano oil- it’s potent potent stuff- don’t touch eyes after handling the pills- This stuff works really well on cold sores too- knocks it back quick- great thing to have on hand-

I always thought the paper masks that Asians love to wear were not efficacious. It's impossible to get them to seal well to your face and they are a very coarse filter with the filter pores being many times larger than the virus particles. Respirators (N–95 and N–100) have been shown to be effective, but sealing to the face is again the Achilles heel.

To really be sure, everybody should start wearing Self Contained Breathing Apparatuses. There might be an investment opportunity here.

Ok THAT makes sense - but that’s true of any virus or infection.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

There are probably lots of ways - someone coughing could leave something in the air that gets into your eyes, just like it gets into your nose, lungs, etc.

Tip for the Day: Stay AWAY from Texas Horned Toad lizards! They are notorious for virus transmission.

pretty sure flu and other viruses can enter thru the eyes as well.......

I just ordered some masks on amazon.....its better then nothing......

[McGruff]

Just put a mask over your eyes, problem solved. Now let’s get back to impeaching.

“The only answer is to tie a plastic bag over your head tight.“

Especially effective and recommended for liberals...

[CondorFlight]

I thought we were all going to die of climate change before the flu got to us... was Greta wrong???

[Tench_Coxe]

Is that to transmit the coronavirus or to make someone gay?

[steve86]

Are you ok? This is talking about infection IN through the eyes (tear ducts, etc), not OUT through the eyes.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Nonsense. Yes, a virus can enter through the eyes. No, that does not mean a mask is useless.

Zactly

[Old Yeller]

Well crap. There goes my plan to get rich investing in companies that make masks.

[RummyChick]

I don’t see why not.

You are told not to touch her eyes, nose, mouth and ears when trying to protect yourself against the regular flu.

That is why I use hydrogen peroxide ..diluted ..in my ears if I have been exposed...whether or not it does any good..as many claim it can’t help. I don’t care. I do it anyway.

[GOPJ]

Goggle makers will do well.

Doesn't China make most of the eye protection ware?

[rktman]

Sounds like it’s spread from wearing masks.

[RummyChick]

APT is a cheap mask stock that is getting play. It surged Friday but backed off some.

Predict it will surge Monday as well.

Schiff is screwed
