Pink Eye a Symptom of COVID-19
If you watched last night's debate with Vice President Pence and VP candidate Harris, you may have noticed that VP Pence had some issue with his eye...as well as that fly that everyone seems to be talking about today. But since President Trump's positive COVID test, people have been watching everyone associated with the president to see if any virus symptoms are evident.
The "pink eye" that VP Pence had last night looked more like broken blood vessel than pink eye, but it still brought up the question- is pink eye a symptom of the virus?

A quick check of WebMD shows that yes, apparently it IS! Color me astounded. I mean, I always have thought that someone contracts pink eye from poop... as in not washing hands well enough and touching a surface that may or may not have feces on it in some shape or form. Gross, right? But according to WebMD, pink eye can be a symptom in people who have very severe coronavirus symptoms.
And there's more! And how did we not really hear much, or anything about this when this study was done early this past Spring?
Well, this is just gross. Like anyone wants to deal with pink eye along with everything else you apparently deal with when you actually have COVID. Great. Now, it's another thing.
