A Virologist who was also an Epidemologist took a flight home to New Orleans. He saw that the flight was packed and thought about getting off the plane. He wore a mask, gloves and wiped everything down and even changed gloves. He came down with covid19 soon after arriving home, like two days later. The guy is an expert, he believes that he contracted SARS-COV-2 on the flight via his eyes. I have ordered a pair of wrap-around safety glasses, did that last week well before I read the article today. I will always wear a mask and goggles while out, spray everything down with 91% alcohol when I get home, including the goggles and mask, spray my hands, clean the bottle and then wash my hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. The long aside has two purposes, first, the eyes may be a path for SARS-COV-2 to enter a person. Second, you don't know who is infected, there is no reason to take a chance with anyone.
As far as people going to bars, you can't control that. Just don't go yourself. What you can control somewhat is your defense against incidentally contracting SARS-COV-2. That is all you can do. Hopefully the bar was full of MAGATS, if a progressive was there, that person needs his or her head examined. Just protect your self against people that got infected there and come across you. Don't assume that any part of your body is safe from SAR-COV-2.
