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.

Flu vaccine a must. Uh, no, I don’t do flu vaccines either! ‘Infect by’?
BINGO.
Here’s a doctor (John Campbell) who says there’s evidence to support the concept that a flu vaccination makes one MORE susceptible to other respiratory viruses:

Ha! Thanks for posting that link/study.
FRAUDchi doing his level best to get as many Americans sick, as he can.
Forget your “sarcasm” tag?
Hi Yoda. ;)
Dude is out of control. Pence needs to get him off the Wuhan Flu team, since he is the “head” of that team. And then the President needs to ask for his resignation. Yesterday.
In a normal year, less than half of Americans get the flu shot.
I am SCREAMING!! Why doesn’t he just SHUT UP? How much more can we take from this man?
Right.
I posted earlier we should wear the Armstrong and Aldrin Moon suits worn in 1969. And then go into frequent quarantines in the airtight enclosure type used for them to smile and wave to President Nixon when they returned (Experts then thought they might carry Moon virus to us by accident).
We can sign our credit card purchase info. by the big metal pincers used in the space pods on 2001: A Space Odyssey. A little awkward.
I’ll be the one wearing hearing protection.
If Trump asks for his resignation I doubt if Fauci will resign. He will try and force Trump to fire him. I doubt if Trump will do that until after the election he probably thinks its not worth the “Chad & Karen” bruhaha it will cause pre-election.
Ugh, he’s even got the ‘Obama tilt’ head position. The modified steeple fingers say “I’m superior”.
I can’t wait to see him in mask, goggles and shield during his next public performance.
You can kiss my country-fied ass!
Fauxi...take your vaccine and stick it up your and Gates’ ass........maybe that would get rid of you virus’!
Even if he wore a bunny suit going forward, I wouldn’t believe him.
The nation’s top infectious disease expert.
Correction: The media’s appointed nation’s top infectious disease expert.
Oh yeah, that’s right. Thanks for reminding me of all the times I’ve seen Dr Fauxi wearing his googles, plastic face shield and mask.
He's an egocentric, excessively prideful little twerp who hasn't been right as many times a day as a broken windup clock with hands.
Gives doctors a bad name.
Joke: Guys in a long line are waiting for St. Peter to check them in to see if they can get into Heaven. Suddenly one man comes rushing up past them and gets right in through the Pearly Gates.
"Hey, That's unfair. That guy took cuts and went ahead of all of us. What gives?"
"Oh, that's God. He thinks he's a doctor."
Oh crap.
Because of the lockdown in the past months, I was left with nothing else to do but do a major cleanup in the house and garage.
Among the discarded items were ski goggles.
And now Fauci tells me!!!!!!!!!
