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.

No shit - now shaddap...
So.should we all wear space suits?
If we split up the country, we need to make sure their side gets Fauci.
Aw krap!
When people ask why I resist the mask so much, I tell them if we don’t push back, we will just get more and more and more.
There is no end to it.
Fongool.
Goggles? He has lost it. They are desperate.
Does he cite his peer reviewed studies to back this up??
...”Go out there and get your flu shot when the flu vaccine becomes available,” he urged....
Um, no thanks, FRAUDchi. If you’re recommending it, I’m staying far away from it.
What’s in YOUR flu shot, this year?
Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!
Maybe an athletic cup too?
This guy’s “Use By” date has come and gone.
I don’t believe anything he says. He says we can’t shake hands but it is okay to have sex with strangers. NOT buying anything this guy, even with 34 degrees from Harvard.
Good test of whether masks are of any benefit is slowing the spread of the teeny, tiny, itsy bitsy virus particles. Stay tuned.
Predictable as clockwork and predict it I did.

Wear mask = pull down your pants.
Stay home = spread your legs apart.
Wear goggles = bend over.
Take your vaccination = _________________.
