The World Health Organization has said people are better off washing and sanitizing their hands than using plastic gloves because bacteria and germs that stick to gloves could be spread to another person.
So we are back to square one again. No mask, no gloves, just wash your hands.
It’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Proper disposal of single use gloves is the appropriate answer.
Using the same pair of gloves all day, or even multiple days, poses a greater risk of cross-contamination that throwing single use gloves into a properly lined trash bin.
If they go in the garbage....there is no host and the bugs will die and no one will get infected. And it’s about 99% that there’s no bugs to start with.
We call those places "protests"
Meanwhile liberal politicians don’t give a damn about the homeless dumping used needles everywhere.
>I think trying to pry those suckers on and off will expose you pretty well to whatever may be on ‘em.
Great graphic.
But re-using the same mask for days is good for you, right?
Thanks to Vendome for the above.
Most people wear the wrong size and do not know how to safely take them off
Wash your hands
Don’t spit on the sidewalk
I don't need no steenking gloves!
I don't need no steenking mask!
I just need a new sombrero.
Gloves are fine for technically inclined people who do real work and educate themselves as lifelong pursuits of knowledge instead of struggles that end with graduation. If not properly removed and put in a sealed container soon enough, holes appear in disposable gloves. That’s knowledge of many people who are experts in nothing (humility), have no degrees and have done no medical work. Many of the young “experts” should find help for their narcissism.
Protip 1 - Removing Surgical Gloves
Pinch glove 1 about an inch below the top cuff and skin it down inside out. You’ll cup this removed glove in the palm of glove 2 that you’re still wearing. Last, slip a finger under the cuff of glove 2 and skin it down inside out. What you have now is glove 1 inside glove 2 and only the non-contaminated inside of glove 2 showing. You can now safely handle the gloves bare handed. This only takes a few seconds to perform, which is a heck of a lot faster than it took to peck this out on my iPhone. LOL!
Protip 2 - Purchasing The Right Glove
Surgical gloves come in two styles. One is the standard bare glove and the second is “powdered” with talcum powder. This powdered glove is way easier on/off and is way more comfortable if it’s warm or hot where you’re wearing it or if you’re wearing gloves for an extended time.
If this virus is soooo dangerous, where are the Biohazard bins to dispose of the PPE people are wearing?
Why are people just tossing this PPE wherever they remove it?
Inquiring minds etc...
