A couple of interesting studies

Feb 21, 2021 16:15

Two relatively small-scale studies, one from India and the other from China, suggest that glasses-wearers are significantly less likely to contract Covid - 2-3x less (the India study) or up to 5x less (the China study). Possible reasons include people who wear glasses touching their eyes less, compared to non-glasses wearers, or possibly glasses providing a protective shield against aerosols, like goggles or face shields.

So I just thought that was interesting! These things have been such a gigantic pain to cope with while wearing masks; it's nice to know they might actually be a little bit helpful as well. This entry is also posted at https://sholio.dreamwidth.org/1372997.html with
