    the eyes have it

    Can someone tell me again [ I'm a bit of a sceptic ] just why we need to wear maske as if they were the GREAT Covid protector ?.

    Dr Waradon Sungnak, the first author on the paper from Wellcome Sanger Institute, said: “We found that the receptor protein - ACE2 - and the TMPRSS2 protease that can activate SARS-CoV-2 entry are expressed in cells in different organs, including the cells on the inner lining of the nose. We then revealed that mucus-producing goblet cells and ciliated cells in the nose had the highest levels of both these COVID-19 virus proteins, of all cells in the airways. This makes these cells the most likely initial infection route for the virus.”

    The two key entry proteins ACE2 and TMPRSS2 were also found in cells in the cornea of the eye and in the lining of the intestine. This suggests another possible route of infection via the eye and tear ducts, and revealed a potential for fecal-oral transmission.

    While the nose seams to be a risk, the eyes are also a risk but we don't require people to wear goggles in public places.


    Also , looking at the last sentence , it would be advisable to lay off ass kissing for a while [ and just wait for a promotion ] rather than working for one.
