Coronavirus II

[Denny347]

I see people wearing gloves and not taking them off after multiple contacts. What is the point of that? The germs are spread by contact, not absorption through the skin. Put glove on, make contact, dispose. Put on new pair of gloves, make contact, dispose...etc. If you cannot do that, then washing/sanitizing your hand is more reasonable. In fact, that is likely more practical than gloves for us.

Multiple Contacts?
Where the hell are you?...... A massage parlor?


Tell those people you see to stop touching everybody.

So, hopefully this goes in the plus column for him, to be weighed against the sin of banning bumpstocks

Example. Cashier at local food place. You are there picking order up and you hand them your cash/debit card. They handle it with gloves on, then with the same gloves, type on the cash register and cc machine, then hand back change or card. Then onto the next customer, doing the same thing with the same gloves. If you are concerned about touch contamination, you change gloves and wipe keyboard down between each transaction. In reality, they are wearing them to make them FEEL safe. What a waste.

They are safer with the gloves on provided they don't suck on them or touch their face - the customers are the ones vulnerable to the cross-contamination.

Have you seen the Lexan barriers at the cashiers in Lowes. Interesting concept. The debit/credit machine is close to the customer. Unless you use cash there is no real contact.

I just ordered 1000 3.5 mil vinyl foodservice gloves from webstaurantstore (love that place) for about $45 shipped... use 'em and pitch 'em... every time.

Not in jedi's book.
It's like a child parent relationship. Once you break the trusth the first time the parent has to watch you 1,000% of the time. You have to rebuild that trust

 

[tbhausen]

They have the lexan at our Circle K here, too. It's a good precaution.

Can you use hand sanitizer on these gloves or does it make a slathering mess.

 

[tbhausen]

When using gloves, this might be obvious, but it's not always necessary to use two at a time. Conserve those supplies when possible.

 

[tbhausen]

I have no idea, but I don't intend to. I think that'd be a waste of sanitizer on disposable gloves that are so cheap. Best thing about wearing them is it's a reminder to NOT TOUCH FACE.

And I am touching my face as I read this...….

 

[T.Lex]

In my mind, wearing the gloves is a practical solution, as long as you don't touch your face. I don't wear gloves, but I've become hyper aware of hand sanitizer/washing if I touch something that isn't "mine."

With the gloves, touch whatever anyone else has touched until you're back in home or wherever you can be confident that it's clean. Take them off, throw them away, then wash your hands.

As long as you don't touch your face with the gloves, should be ok.

In other news, death doubling is back to about 2.5-3 days. The total deaths on 3/23 (less than a week ago) was 553, and we had roughly that same amount today alone.

When I went out yesterday i saw wioes and gloves all over the ground. The new litter, let someone else pick it up. Also, I kid you not, the Bedford post office has a clear (sort of) SHOWER CURTAIN stretched from ceiling to counter to protect the postal workers.

Yes, I have seen this at the grocery store. People are inconsiderate pigs. I do wear gloves into the store, and they come off just before I get into the car. But I have a garbage bag in my trunk that I put them in.
