Well now that most people have been conditioned to wear masks, time to remove another trace of humanity. The last company newsletter included the CDC's recommendation that people wear protective eyewear. I really wish they had not. You just know some covidiot is going to dig her kids' swimming goggles out of the closet and make them wear the goggles for 14 hours a day. Expecting to hear about an uptick in eye diseases after this.

Don't give them any ideas! That sounds like something South Park would do.
It can be transmitted by all mucus membranes. Do the math and you can figure out what needs to be blocked or uh plugged.
Goggles/visors are great if someone is spitting at you, coughing up blood or projectile vomiting. If the sick person is getting air pumped through their body via something like BiPAP ( https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-apnea/bipap-overview ) then they can help.
Otherwise, it's a waste of time. They've been required in many hospitals for several months, and yes they can cause eye problems.
True, but it's not in clinical surroundings that I'm worried about this. Medical workers (I would presume) know how to use PPE and when to dispose of it. My concern is laypersons that don't. I could be wrong but I doubt it's medical people that are getting most of the cases of pleurisy, staph, and mask mouth.
Insist that the best personal protection is actually a ball gag.
"No, I won't put the clothespin on, you have to do that part yourself."
The CDC's got to keep the anxiety going. People got used to the masks, so they need another reminder that something's wrong.
We're going to be dressed like neurosurgeons by the end of this if they have their way.
