If the virus is in the eye it can be washed thru the tear ducts into the nose and on into the throat.
Good possibility. I still don't know why he wore gloves. Gloves still harbor germs just like hands so why bother with gloves? Very possible....he may have touched his eye with his gloved hand. I have seen Dr. Fair interviewed while he was hospitalized and he did say that he can also make a mistake even though he very well knows what he is supposed to do to protect himself.
