The question is, with respect to people who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and didn’t know that they had been infected, does the entry of that virus through the eyes help to stimulate the body to produce antibodies for that virus?

In the meanwhile, and in my non-medical opinion, also watching for signs of melanoma, if you aren’t safely getting enough sunlight on your backs, start taking vitamin D3 if you can find it.

Maybe a good idea to start taking D3 when the flu / SARS-CoV-2 season starts again.

Insights welcome.

Since no one knows how this disease is going to mix with my blood disorder and daily oxidative stress I *DO** wear goggles...but have a hell of a time with the fogging.

Still trying all the internet tips for it. Sometimes successful..sometimes not. Also depends on what kind of mask I have on.

The Washington nursing home people got it through the eyes by anecdotal evidence. Had red eyes and even lids that looked like had red eye shadow.

Blindfolds?
Naaah.
We need to keep our eyes closed forever, under pain of being thrown in jail. :).

Last week I went to our local grocery store and about half the shoppers had masks on. Today I went and only about a fourth had them on.

Not to mention the people who spit while talking.

There are a few cultures out there who do this even in public. Referred to as "open mouth breathers".

so now we need swimming googles and masks? why not we all wear hasmat suites now with our own self contained O2 bottles. I know we can O2 stations like gas stations. They can even give blue chip stamps as well.

All journal articles evaluating the origin or epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 that utilize the RaTG13 bat strain genomics are potentially flawed and should be retracted.

It depends on your viewpoint.

If you dont care if you catch WUhan flu then you dont need masks or eye protection.

If you do care, then each layer of protection that you use will hopefully lessen your viral load.

A Dr here said very very early on this was all about lessening the viral load so your body can fight it.

and also your location factors in...If I was in some rural area with no cases in the area and few in the state I probably wouldn’t even wear a mask

If I lived in NYC, Heck yes I would wear a mask and googles.

What is the earliest scientific study not coming from China that verified it.

Why yes, that’s correct.

Good point!

I’m not a nursing home worker, but it wouldn’t surprise me if nursing home residents all over the globe never wore protective goggles for lockdown.

Hey Doc Rev -
So how many positive patients have you seen to date? Breakdown on age/comorbidities? Any Fatalities or have you been able to keep up with those who may have ended up at ER?

I don’t have a list but have only had about a dozen age range of 35 to 91. All had risk factors. No deaths and no hospitalizations. All treated with HCQ and zinc. Some zithromax and others with doxycycline. I usually told them to take vitamin D and CoQ10. All did well about 3 days after starting medications.

I have one in his 70’s who has developed A-fib and CHF about 2 to 3 wks after recovering. I think it was likely from from Covid-19 but the cardiologist does not think so. He believes it is from all of his other risk factors which he has many. He also got sick before I recommended CoQ10 also and I think this helps heal the endothelium by decreasing the free radicals in the blood.

chicago is really hard hit by this.

a big part is the nursing homes.

There was a scanner report of one home 150 with it..i think 49 were workers. Illinois has a list of nursing homes breakdown with Covid cases.

>If you dont care if you catch WUhan flu then you dont need masks or eye protection.<

Your position is well put, but I disagree with it. This whole thing is all junk reporting. Control the people, control the world. This is phase one of that control. Scare the masses, collect the money and give it back in dribbles and daps.

I've got one of these I used for sanding/grinding but I can't get any refills for it. Kinda neat because it's got the silicone and plastic frame so it fits and seals really well and the inserts are the same material as typical N95 masks minus the strap and nose bridge piece. It's as compact as a regular N95 mask also.
