Coronavirus CAN enter the body through the eyes | Daily Mail Online

  • The coronavirus latches onto ACE-2 receptors, known as the 'gateway' into cells
  • Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found ACE-2 in the eyes
  • It means if infected droplets land on the eye, the virus can begin infiltrating

They said this early on then dropped it. Forget toilet paper...the next shortage will be goggles and safety glasses. The only way around this transmission process is isolation or everybody has to wear a mask to prevent the flying droplets. (Neither of which will be widely accepted, I know. I'm just saying it's THAT contagious of a virus.)

U.S. coronavirus death toll tops 80,000 - Reuters tally


May 11 (Reuters) - U.S. coronavirus deaths topped 80,000 on Monday, according to a Reuters tally, as nearly all states have taken steps to relax lockdown measures.

Deaths in the United States, the epicenter of the global pandemic, have averaged 2,000 a day since mid-April despite efforts to slow the outbreak.

The death toll is higher than any fatalities from the seasonal flu going back to 1967 and represents more U.S. deaths than during the first eight years of the AIDS epidemic, from 1981 to 1988.

Total coronavirus cases in the United States have exceeded 1.3 million with infections rising in such states as Mississippi, Minnesota and Nebraska, highlighting the risk of a new wave of COVID-19 outbreaks.

Cases are falling in New Jersey and New York at the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, accounting for nearly half of the American deaths from COVID-19, according to the Reuters tally, and the two states have among the strictest lockdown rules still in place.
