I wear them in the store. Take them off when I got back outside and they go in a bag for the dumpster. Then I wash my hands as soon as I get home.

I disagree with what this person is saying.

Dr Simran Deo at Zava UK suggests that wearing gloves could actually increase your risk of catching coronavirus as droplets projected into the air by coughing or sneezing can stay on the surface

Yeah, whereas if the droplets projected into the air land on your hands, they'll vanish like fairy dust.

Wearing gloves you become more aware of touching your face and thereby able to refrain (from touching your face).

When done with the task at hand, remove the gloves, wash hands and arms. If you are concerned about germs on the surface of any products brought home - wipe them down (bleach, alcohol, peroxide...)

Bleach cleaners are out of stock, but toilet tank tablets and pool shock tablets are a nice hypochlorite source.

Sure, only medical professionals are qualified to wear gloves (don’t try this on your own kids).

Be safe and just cut your hands off at the wrist.

Is that what the CDC is recommending?

Mailboxes and garbage cans are highly likely to get infected because if one is infected the next hundred a mailman/binman touches will also get infected.

I fetch my mail with my right hand and open my front door with my left hand.

The mail gets placed on the floor without leafing through it.

I would eschew any medical advice coming from the UK, given that their national strategy appears to be “just let it happen”.

Gloves are just like a new layer of skin. Don’t put fingers in your mouth, gloves or no gloves.

Many people have lots of socks.

I looked for cheap disposable gloves but didn’t find any in any store.

Per the CDC: Immediately wash hands after removing gloves.

I assume that the good doctor is full of nonsense...

I wear latex gloves when I need to go into a plant simply because some of the ‘products’ one can come into contact with are either hard on one’s hands or they are hard to wash off especially when it get under the nails. I find that putting gloves on and off is such a nuisance that outside of lunchtime, I just keep them on but wash my hands regularly with soap and water as if I didn’t have gloves on. And I agree with an earlier comment... having gloves on instinctively stops you from touching your face.

There is a protocol in removing gloves. Done properly they protect you.

Sometimes I wonder if some of these “experts” want to stretch this panic out as long as possible.

Oh good grief - the idea for wearing gloves in public for health reasons is to use DISPOSABLE gloves.

Another goofy and poorly written article that will now make people stop wearing gloves altogether because they only read the headline.

Anybody with any kind of first responder training, or even first aid knows how to take rubber gloves off without touching the outside of them.
