"Virus survives on skin."
Spit , snot , phlegm , saliva , sweat , tears even , all infective (in addition of course to blood , semen , vaginal secretions ,
precome , vomitus , urine , feces , etc. )
: Sneeze , cough droplets carry the virus. These droplets can land on you , or on an object that you touch and then
you touch your eyes / mouth.
CDC mandated protective gear not sufficient to prevent transmission of virus.
That gear consists of face masks , goggles / glasses , several layer gloves , gowns etc.
Spanish nurse apparently was in full compliance with requirements , had been in proximity of infected material on
two occasions only , yet got infected.
Now several in quarantine , several dozen under observation.
What next ?
Anyone concerned ?
