Beware ladies, pink eye is a possible symptom of covid-19.
The mandatory precautionary measures against covid-19 that we have been aware include the use of facial masks and hand sanitisers. With new research emerging, it’s time to add eye care to that list of preventative measures against covid-19. Because according to eye-care specialists in India, the virus can transmit through the eyes too.
To reduce the possible risk of the virus entering our body through the eyes, ophthalmologists point out the need for wearing glasses and taking good care of eye health.
“One of the rare manifestations of covid-19 is a pink eye or conjunctivitis. Sometimes, patients may not have a fever, cold, cough, or any other symptom other than mild conjunctivitis. These covid-19 patients can also experience loss of smell and loss of taste,” said Ikeda Lal, pphthalmologist at Delhi Eye Centre and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi.

I have heard a number of descriptions of symptoms where patients had a very compressed feeling in their heads accompanied by mucus coming out of eyes.
This was also a symptom I had back in January, In fact it was January 4 when I suspect I had this, after a trip to Canada where a contact had recently been to Vancouver and Edmonton Airports.
My son also had the same symptoms but also difficulty breathing had what looked like pinkeye but went away on it's own after several days to a week.
I bring this up because we are learning what I have suspected for a long time that this has been with us earlier than the first "known" cases and I am curious if anyone else has tested positive and had the same symptom as it is more "rare".
I am leaning towards the belief that different strains may have different more prominent symptoms.
Is there a respiratory virus that can’t spread through the eyes? Honest question.
Something that they were loudly inciting panic with back in March is new again.

We had a horrendous cold in December. The most unusual characterize was the conjunctivitis. I last had that 65 years ago.
Anyone reading the internet reports knew this since January
That’s been know from day one.
Its a fact that this is something that they were already talking about last month.
You got a problem with people pointing out that it isn’t a new fact?
My post is not to incite panic if that’s what you are hinting. If you read my notes underneath, you’ll see my correlation with the issue. For me it is connecting the dots of pink eye symptom.
I also have a spouse working in ER.
It’s the reason why my daughter (an ICU nurse) must wear the protection and a mask. And not just for COVID patients.
Whitmer will mandate goggles for all.
A study published in the medRxiv depository suggests that the novel coronavirus COVID-19 could remain in the air up to 3 hours post aerosolization.
Is there new data to the contray? Please post if so.
Not the point, Did you read my comment section?
Well all the sheople with blinders on have nothing to worry about. If this can spread this way this is a direct attack on conservatives not livs
Pretty soon everyone will be wearing moon landing space suits.
Yes. My wife works ER and ICU and in the past was cardiac RN BSN. She’s on the front lines now
Hence the warnings: don’t touch your face.
Next week, “OMG - this airborne virus spreads 80 ft., can penetrate your skin and hair follicles, can be asymptomatic for 6 months but still be contagious, birds carry it, your pets have it, we’re doomed, it’s all Trump’s fault.
But will they be beer goggles?
