Nobody suggested anywhere that you cannot absorb droplets thru the eyes. That is an argument nobody has made and you invented to knock down. That is why those in high risk situations who have to spend extended amounts of time with the infected e.g Doctors in hospitals etc, wear eye protection.
We are still waiting for you to provide any evidence whatsoever to prove your 'imaginary' hypothesis.
We are all ears.

Well, I’m not surprised. It was the US who labelled the 1918 pandemic as ‘Spanish flu’, even though it probably originated in the US.
The Spanish had a much freer media at the time, so it was the first country to actually report the outbreak.
The ‘UK’ or ‘British’ or ‘Kent’ variant was simply gene sequenced and identified in the UK first. I doubt even COVID could have spread so far and wide during international lockdown unless it was already present in lots of places already?
It’s odd, you guys are usually keen to take the credit for stuff, like capturing the German Enigma machine or showing the Samurai how to fight wars ......... ;)
Spain's media was free due to their being neutral/uninvolved in WW1

Yes, Lyle, I think that’s right - even though Franco was a bit of a proto-fascist himself

It was 21 years til Franco took power, Alfonso XIII was King in 1918 and the Prime Ministers were: Antonio Maura, Manuel Garcia Prieto, Alvaro de Figueroa.
Alfonso caught that flu which many believe also lead to the naming of that H1N1 strain.
Re: Covid- 19 - Second wave
Damn got a little pissed today. My state is still pretty much locked down, I can’t see clients except on “emergency” conditions. Restaurants closing, small shops out of business crazy restrictions on so many things and today I just found out our states transmission rate is 1.6%. I probably should have been looking it up but tbh I just kind of take in my surroundings and figured we are at 10%. I have poor sob’s in a group home can’t take a walk down the street. Think how that feels for someone with mental health issues. Now granted our state is pretty high on the list of vax per capata but our governor needs to let go of these emergency powers. He was on TV and actually said “there isn’t much reason to put more restrictions on restaurants people are scared to go out to eat anyway.” Good job king you scared the shit out of everyone. But they filled the coffers on capital gains taxes and housing price increasing as we border NY and everyone in NY is scared shitless looking to move to the suburbs. Fuck me man I feel like we been scammed. And I have respect for viruses. Ever since I took several trainings on Hep C it got me interested in viruses and they are nothing to sneeze at, especially that frickin flu I had last year that shit was no joke. So yeah I’m like in the medical field but I’m no doctor or nurse or anything but I have to take this shit seriously but damn 1.6% transmission rate and I gotta work like death is around every corner, camon man I got people walking the ledge here.

No making an argument that nobody else as made in order for you to easily knock it down is a strawman argument. They are all the rage here nowadays.
Nobody denied that you could absorb the droplets from this virus thru your eyes, which is why many people wear eye protection and advise others to do so ( In Hospitals etc). You though presented it as though it were a binary argument in which everyone was pretending that you didn't need to cover your eyes just your nose and mouth.
Then you could pretend that you had knocked down an argument made of straw that only you had made.
Try putting on your thinking head next time Wurzel.

The straw man couldn’t grow a brain. I think that was his problem. If he was the tin man it might be different :cool:

That's horrific. I mean I know the US has a lot more open space than you guys, but holy fuck. Quarantining because you HAVE COVID is one thing, locking down like you guys are, that's going to kill people.

If it saves lives then it is worth it. There is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine roll out and the numbers of deaths going down.
