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.

LOL!
I’m surprised not more terrorist out there bombing, setting fires, beating people up are wearing mask. So obedient people. Don’t they hate government telling them what to do? My guess tho is it’s a hide your face thing.
I wonder how much stock he owns in pharmaceuticals?
Here we see him having let down his virtuous® guard for a moment for a sip of water.
We are told we have a super deadly virus that only can be stopped by untrained citizens wearing homemade masks and now goggles, but it s totally safe to go out to eat without a mask. Got it,
Fauci, like so many Covid 19 top liars, is spinning out of control.
He will probably have a fatal stroke/heart attack before all of his lies, and the lies of his underlings are dragged out into the daylight.
Falsi, the ChiComs’ and liebral elite dems point man for their 2020 attack on Americans.
So we also knew about the goggles in late December and that the virus can get in through the eyes. Why this revelation now, why didn’t we need the eye protection during the first wave?
Fire him.
Let him get his own hour a day on CNN.
We never have hear from him again.
My little big headed wife says you win the internet today!
This piece of shit tosses out more lunacy that will be massaged by the left into Trump is a racist for not complying and advocating.
Waiting for the videos to appear showing us how to make homemade masks & goggles.
Oh, yeah....that's right....never!
He's been in gov't since 1984.
