In one of the early post from Canada that it was mentioned that tight fitting goggles would be needed. It was thought that many of the health care workers got it through their eyes. I would also think through their ears will be found as well. I went and purchased a few goggles from Moore.com along with some surgical masks in case it got bad in my area of the US.

Previously, several people on this list had said that studies indicated that colds and flu (I believe) were only able to be transmitted through the eyes; that inoculation with the virus in the nose or mouth did not cause a subject to come down with the disease. If this is the case, what does that say about the efficacy of face masks to prevent getting the disease. It would only keep the sick one from spreading it. Perhaps everyone else should be wearing goggles!!!
