Wearing rubber gloves for virus protection

You sound kind of like a dick tbh

I told him that if his gloves become nice Fed he is spreading the virus to every customers packages, credit cards, and cash.

About washing hands, nope.

Believing your average customer service employees can understand sterile technique, definitely.

I think the rubber gloves’ best benefit is they serve as a reminder to not touch your face. People just need to be washing their hands after they receive packages/open mail.

No. Unfortunately, there's plenty of ignorant people right now who do this and it's not helping anything. It's fine if they sanitized the gloves regularly which less people do. Gloves actually create more harm than good in my experience and I only say that due to ignorance of people who use them as the example you gave. People are less willing to sanitize their hands with gloves on. It blows my mind how Americans today have such a selfish mentality. All those stories and stuff growing up or hitting American history books with the unity we use to have to get through tragedy...where the frick did all that go? All I see is a polarized and divided country during a pandemic full of selfish people.

You are completely correct. I laugh watching people wearing gloves go digging in their purse or pocket and touching their car all day with the same gloves that are just dragging the germs all over everything. And then when they get home they dig in that same purse with bare hands and think they are ok.

wrong. not sure if you're being serious. Unless the wearer disposes of gloves after touching anything or sanitizes them, they are meaningless.

It’s probably safer if they did without gloves and just washed their hands regularly vs just wearing the same gloves all day.

I have started a TulaneLSU-esque post on proper glove wearing protocols two or three times this week and stopped because the people who don’t understand likely aren’t willing to try to learn.

There are people who understand that the Virus doesn’t magic it’s way through the bare skin (of your hands). Then there are those other idiots.

So I just laugh to myself when I see someone wearing gloves do something like pump gas and then get in their cars and drive off wearing the same gloves. Congrats, you just contaminated your steering wheel dumb frick.

My favorite was when I was in Costco the first week of this deal and a guy wearing gloves came in the bathroom and pissed while wearing the gloves. Schmuck. Then he went to the sink after pissing and washed the gloves in the sink before going back to his cart.

I was thinking about this as well after I saw someone wearing them at the pharmacy. Since the virus is not absorbed through the skin, I cant see any reason they would be of any benefit to the wearer.

Maybe because you're less likely to rub or stick a finger in your mouth or rub your eyes, dumb arse.

If you don't possess the self awareness to not touch your face, whether wearing gloves or not, you are the dumb arse.
