Do we hear or fear or do we smash the mirror?

There is little information informing whether the regulation of TMPRSS2 expression or activity is regulated by glucose, or dysregulated in the context of experimental or clinical diabetes

It’s obvious now.

The only way to stay safe and not get killed to death by this evil virus is to wear a plastic bag over head and face and duct tape it securely around the neck to ensure no virus infiltrate.

Ima gonna call my governor and ask him to make this mandatory.

Didn’t “we” know this months ago. It seems a lot of the stuff that was coming out of China in Jan/Feb are being “discovered” again.

I agree with your comment, but are the left just making this up on the fly? Is there communication and coordination from the blue states? Who’s the behind the scenes coordinator? Lot of questions.

4. Urgent ophthalmic problem in a patient who is at high risk for COVID-19

The patient is best sent to the ER or other hospital-based facility equipped to evaluate for, and manage, COVID-19.

That’s why we need y’all to wear blindfolds.

Please cooperate.

Do we at least get a cigarette?

Then everybody needs to wear two masks. One to cover their mouth, and the other to cover their eyes. Maybe they should cover their ears as well while they’re at it.

I wonder if contact lenses help or make it worse?

Right - this sounds very familiar.

I doubt it it unique to this virus. They eye is an opening not covered by skin unless you close your eyelid.

As an aside, I wonder if this could allow the immune system to find it earlier in the cycle in order to start building antibodies before it reaches the respiratory system?
