Do we know that? I thought it was by inhaling micro droplets from infected people coughing, sneezing, and even breathing. How does it get into the body from your face?

Any materials experts out there?

 

Ok, so.  We know that most covid transmission is hand to face and we know that the virus is highly vulnerable to acids and some other substances.  Is it not possible to design gloves (and perhaps masks) with those substances embedded?  How about cloth gloves dunked in vinegar and hung out to dry before wearing?  Is vinegar still acid when it’s dry? 

 

Yeah.  I know.  Dumb.  But somebody explain to me why.
