    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 ?
    It's scary the way the full protective clothing seemingly wasn't protective enough. It would be one one thing if the poor nurse was careless but apparently she wasn't.
    If at first you don't succeed..... don't take up skydiving
