Wearing a mask keeps you from touching your face

Since the virus is contracted from unwashed nasty arse hands touching our mouths, it can't hurt to wear a mask to keep from touching your face.

And wearing the same damn pair of gloves all day is pointless.

All I know is when I'm in public my face itches like never before because I can't touch it

Having gloves on is a good prompt to remind you not to touch your face.

I haven’t/won’t wear a mask and gloves.
That being said one of my bad habits is biting my nails. I do it all the fricking time. With gloves on I’m not able to bite my nails. Even if they are the same pair all day.

Yes. It is.
There is a reason you’re not allowed to just wear gloves in the hospital all day. They get contaminated very easily. You’re way better off washing your hands regularly on a normal day.

Unless you are washing those gloves all day with soap, yes, it’s pointless. You’re still spreading germs between everything you touch all day. The virus was never going to be absorbed through the skin on your hands.

This is why I wear a burka.

If you put on and take off the mask properly, wearing one can be a positive. However, wearing the same mask for multiple times is not good and we don't have the supply to change them as needed. Sanitizing a mask at home isn't easy or foolproof, either.

I work in pharma, and can definitely tell you that people who wear masks touch their faces more.
Masks need constant readjustment, and that is the danger, since the mask are dirty.

Doctor here. You are incorrect. I see people wearing masks all over and they’re often adjusting their mask...with their HANDS. Wearing a mask and gloves all day increases your risk of getting COVID. Unless you are disposing them frequently with every new interaction, washing your hands properly between each exchange, and properly taking them off without further contaminating yourself (surprisingly difficult) it only increases your risk. Don’t do it.
