  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/XU_CHhXXy44   Masks, eye protection and physical distancing each seem to have about equal impact on reducing your risk of a coronavirus infection.  Researchers at Canada’s McMaster University performed a global meta-analysis of 172 studies covering 25,697 patients.   While wearing face masks reduced the risk of infection the most, some 14%, eye protection reduced that risk 11% and distancing reduced the risk 9.8%. The fact that shielding your eyes helps so much emphasizes the importance of airborne virus transmission.   If you are in locations with abundant virus, do wear goggles, a face shield, or attachments to your glasses that block side entry of aerosols.   https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31142-9/fulltext   #covid #eyes #distancing #masks #goggles #faceshield
