I wear a mask to protect myself

Are you wearing a fit-tested N95 or better respirator, and are you trained in donning & doffing PPE?

If not, then what you've got there on your face is a contaminated foamite / placebo and false sense of security.

Good practical test on how to doff gloves.

Our research team greases nestbox poles for wood duck boxes. We use lithium grease.

Earlier this year, once the grease was applied, I asked some team members to try and take off the gloves WITHOUT getting red lithium grease on their hands.

The first few times, every person ended up with grease on the back of their hand or near the web.

Its challenging and you really have to focus. And that's just for gloves.

I have a pretty good system that I follow but fully recognize that some virus are going to get through because of my own ineptitude and because of the nature of the equipment.

I can tell you I was damn glad I had on a mask and a visor shield when the lady in front of me turned around, pulled down her mask and shouted a long way down the grocery store for her son to come here without thinking... ...and when she realized what she had done she did apologize and felt bad. She blasted her germs all over me even with a grocery cart in between us.

And when I got home I broke out the PVP iodine. Lessen the viral load is always my objective.
