Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested Wednesday that Americans should consider wearing goggles or a face shield in order to prevent spreading or catching COVID-19.
"If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it," the nation's top infectious disease expert told ABC News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton during an Instagram Live conversation on ABC News.
When asked if we're going to get to a point where eye protection is recommended, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases responded, "It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces."
"You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye," he continued. "Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it."
He noted that googles and eye or face shields are "not universally recommended" at this time, "but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can."

Fauci looks ahead to flu season
As the summer transitions into the fall, Fauci also discussed the oncoming flu season.
Fauci said he hopes wearing masks will help limit the spread of influenza as well.
"It is inevitable that we're going to have some degree of flu," he said. "I'm hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza."
"Go out there and get your flu shot when the flu vaccine becomes available," he urged.

shut up .......i cant stand this guy
How is it again he got to attend a baseball game? I’d like to go to a baseball game.
I guess you just have to predict, with uncanny accuracy, that the new President is going to have to deal with a pandemic. People just throw tickets at you, even during a quarantine.
I work in a hospital. Where do you work?
Dr. Graybeard urges everyone to wear a beanie with a propeller on top, so everyone will look utterly ridiculous.
Have you seen the lower face shields that fit over the bridge of the nose? Like a transparent duckbill.
And there are masks now with eye shields and a transparent piece over the mouth.
I got sick of seeing all this stuff as people rush to make a buck off the situation. Prompted me to download AdBlockPlus last night.

Send him to Portland.. They would love him

Couldn’t see that one coming....
And when we’ve isolated ourselves from all pathogens, our immune system is destroyed.
I would rather know what the enemy is up to.
What they really want is everyone in commie red burkas kneeling to their divinity and omniscience.
I can’t believe they are out of stock! Someone is buying these?
“He noted that googles and eye or face shields are “not universally recommended” at this time, “but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can.”
you cannot afford to be complete financially and emotionally. it would mean disinfecting your entire, lets say, apartment. everything. then no one comes in. anything delivered is cleaned outside your apartment and all materials than discard in a hazmat bin.
if you leave, assuming your car has been totally decontaminated, you will be changing gloves and masks after every appointment or stop. and you would have to strip down and shower outside your apartment before entering naked.
it would be MOPP 4 on steroids.
exactly
my dad is going to vote for Biden since Trump does not take masks seriously
How many people think that way?!?!?
Lol! He may be on to something. The propeller will blow the germs off one’s face.
past time to defund covid
I thought that was part of the plan.
“ Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!”
