I’m more concerned with touching the gas pump handle... one that’s been touched by strangers every few minutes...
A doctor on FOX today was saying if you get the virus on your hands then touch your eyes you’re ‘dead meat’... The doctor was a microbiologist...
There could be influenza virus on the pump handle. It can survive for hours on surfaces.
I have never had influenza.
If you were to touch a surface that was damp with infected bodily fluid from an Ebola victim, you wouldn’t need to rub your eyes to catch the disease. The virus can enter through microscopic cuts in the skin. I don’t know about you, but I have tons of tiny cuts.
I work with many microbiologists. I am a biochemist. I think we have a good understanding of virus behavior.
