Yes I know dear, but what I meant was, if they wear the same set of gloves for any length of time, then they scratch their nose, mouth, eyes etc, they will still transfer any bacteria from contaminated gloves just the same.
Dirty gloves are no different to dirty hands.

I do not care what they say if I have to go to mingle with people I would wear one. It's a barrier and very sensible.

I don't wear a mask and in fact don't have any though I might keep an eye out for some.

Many supermarkets here are doing the same.

There was a study I came across that just being close enough in a meeting could spread it just by breathing close to an infected person.

It's also down to being in enclosed spaces. You need a good breeze from an open window to disperse any shedding.

I’ve always taken wipes with me in my bag to wipe the trolley handles .
I saw one woman shopper in a mask on my last visit to Sainsburys . Till staff were wearing gloves asking that we pay by card so they’re only touching goods not transferring anything to us?

Ah yes, scratching one's nose is a 'no no'.

Even in Sainsbury's, if people kept to the 2mtr rule literally, no stock could be put on the shelves and we would be clambering over the butter.
