#44 let me explain: a virus needs to enter your body. This often happens when you have it on your hand and touch your face, eat or something like that. You don't touch your face with your elbows and you don't eat with your elbows.
Effie, true, but the virus can still spread to other people and end up in their mouth, nose, eyes, etc if it exists anywhere on a person. Someone could brush their hands on the affected elbow in passing, for instance. Certainly a better option than using your hands, just not 100% fail proof. Masks, frequent hand washing, and not touching the face are equally important.
