Researchers widely believe that COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus pandemic, is transmitted person-to-person, largely via respiratory droplets from coughs, sneezes and talking. A new study suggests it can also be transmitted through the eyes from the ACE-2 protein.

CV, HIV, learned about the latter transmission in eyes on CSI, although CSI was a poor source for porphyria.

I though this was already known.

See, I knew I should have kept my old M17 pro mask.

They’ve been saying that since March, though, with Covid patients coming in with conjunctivitis. Possible, but not very common.

This is not earth shattering news as common colds and influenza can be transmitted the same way.

Wasn’t that why they have said all along not to touch your face near or at your eyes until you have first washed your hands?

It is a possible route, but not a common route.

And most of the masks people wear don’t do squat all to slow the spread of a virus. The nation has gone nuts, and prefers to think Japan has done well because of masks instead of because in Japan and Korea, the subways are vastly CLEANER than in NYC!

Smart medical scientists should have established this within the first week. Fauci is really a dinosaur and should be replaced immediately.

Reminds me of the film 28 Days Later, where blood from a corpse on a bridge dripped into the eye of the guy standing below, and infected him within seconds.

tell that to this freeper who has eye damage..I am sure it will be of great comfort

To: RummyChick
The Freeper with conjuntivis was me. For those who didn’t read my original post many weeks ago..long story shorter version:

I attended my neices convocation at a university in late December. A large group of Chinese people were seated behind us in the venue with theater-style seats (I later discovered that several of the students were from Wuhan). One man, seated behind & to the right of me was coughing the entire time. As I turned my head to talk to my sister, I took at least one direct shot to the face.

About 24 hours later, I was stricken with sudden extreme eye pain, redness, tearing, blinding photophobia & a severe headache. Went to the Doc & the optometrist who were both puzzled by the severity of the conjunctivitis.

I then developed fever, terrible chills, cough, body aches, etc. I would get better...then it would come back...this happened several times. One day, several weeks in, I was very short of breath & had a very difficult time maintaining conciousness. I had been taking Vitamin C & Oregano Oil. That day, I took 5000 mg of Emergen-C; the shortness of breath, confusion & inability to stay awake were improved by the next day, so I continued that.

In total, I was sick for almost 4 weeks. That was before we knew about the Commie bioweapon.

On another note, I made chili one of the days that I was “not so sick”. I kept adding chili powder & cayenne because it seemed flavorless. My neice took one bite & said...”OMG, it’s SO SPICY”. I couldn’t taste it at all...I had forgotten about this until she reminded me.

I have mild permanent eye damage; still can’t taste or smell as well as before.

I have not yet been tested for antibodies, and keep saying “Well, I KNOW I had SOME kind of Chinese virus...just not sure if it was this one!

Sshhh! If the “Masks Save Lives” crowd catches you saying that, they’ll belittle you all day long! :-)

The very first week of this hoaxademic, the “experts” said mouth, nose, and eyes. So now this supposedly is a “new” fear to throw out there — a scare tactic to get people all hot and bothered again? They said this the FIRST WEEK!

I read about this months ago, bought goggles just in case along with other supplies in January & February. How lazy is our press?

Mid Feb 2020 I thought I had pink eye. The next day I woke up with my bronchi burning. I don’t get heartburn, but the center of my lungs was burning. Then I got a high fever, diarrhea, dry cough.

My brothers got the covid, but they vomited. not me.
