I'm not a fan of gloves: they give a false sense of security. Lots of studies show that even healthcare workers contaminate their hands badly when removing gloves. In the hospital, I DO wear gloves, but then I wash my hands thoroughly immediately after removing the gloves, and the major reason I wear them (in most instances) is to protect the patient from incomplete hand-washing of myself...
I think we need to develop
manageable routines...since we're going to be in this mode for several months...
