Yes....in the early stages of infection there is not a lot of virus present in saliva or mucous. It also doesn't cause sneezing or coughing. So the likelihood that someone with very early disease would sneeze in your eye, or similar, is pretty darn low. The average person who is not a close family member or health care worker, would not be coming in contact with other fluids. Also....once people are at the point of having significant vomiting or diarrhea, they are probably not out and about. And certainly not at the stage where they'd be experiencing any bleeding issues related to the virus.
