    Kind of like the idea, during the course of my work I can get absolutely filthy and it does not bug me at all. However I am a bit OC when it comes to pushing buttons on thing like ATM,s, elevators, parking garages, etc....

    Same no-touching concept, but here demonstrated by two helicopters dropping off corona test kits to a cruise ship quarantined off the California coast. Video doesn't show the dropoff; anyone here know how it's done? They'll have to pick up the test kits too, how is that done without exposure? I also wonder if they're flying the official Yellow Jack quarantine flag.

    If the virus can get into your body through the eyes, why do they think masks and toothpicks are effective?

    No winch on the helicopter, so they probably just drop the packages onto the deck.

    How will they retrieve the packages, and then store them safely for transport? The packages they dropped were assumedly clean; the packages they pick up will be a biohazard.

    Unfortunately, we found out that eye infection issue the hard way. Study in The Lancet about conjunctivitis and coronavirus.

    3M 6800 full face shields have gotten increasingly scarce, and their prices have gone up.

    Here's a good meme demonstrating how incredibly difficult it is to stop touching your face.
