Did my grocery shopping this morning. About 3/4 of customers didn’t wear mask. Very few used gloves (I was one of them that wore a pair). About 1/3 of the employees wore mask, remainder didn’t. One employee was adjusting the mask with her hands while it was on her face. One customer’s mask only covered her mouth and not her nose. I didn’t understand this one. One customer was in the check out line was touching her face with her hands while her husband coughed twice without covering his mouth. I was behind him and quickly changed lines. Some people entering the store near me didn't wipe off the cart handle with the antiseptic wipes. The young lady at the entrance using a counter to record how many people came in out of the store said they allow 1,000 customers in the store at one time. This surprised me since I didn’t realize you can get that much social distancing with that many people.
I wondered if the virus was on the food containers, how long will it last on them and will refrigeration cause the virus to last longer? Should all the stores containers be wiped with soap and water when we get home and should the plastic storage bags be thrown out?

For those who wear disposable gloves while shopping, do you remove them when you get your wallet out, then put on a fresh pair when you're done? If not you wallet could be contaminated.

When I shop here I carry a bottle of alcohol in my pocket and clean my hands and face several times in the store. Here we are calm and the shelves are well stocked.

No cases in our part of France so we are lucky.

Actually, I thought about it while I was doing it since this is the first time I wore gloves. Then I thought if I was not wearing gloves the virus or even germs would still be on my hands when I took the card out of the wallet. Plus, if I took off the gloves to take the card out the wallet, the pencil thing to plug in the debit card/credit card number has to be touched.

After all that I sure hope you wore your seatbelt on the way home.

That's why I use hand sanitizer instead of gloves. I keep a small spray bottle of it in my pocket and use it frequently.

When I pump gas, I'm using a glove on one hand that touches the nozzle and keypad. I use my unloved hand to open my truck's gas cap and insert my card into the pump. When I'm done, take the glove off and toss it in the trash next to the pump. Then hand sanitizer when I'm back in the truck.

I do it the same way. An advantage most of us trappers have is a good supply of gloves.

Unloved hand??? I would think left or right would be a good enough description for most of us.

Is your "unloved" hand your right or your left hand?

Put a couple Q-tips in a plastic ziploc baggie. When you gotta put your pin in pull out a Q-tip and use it instead of your finger.

I just go to the store like normal and then wash my hands real good when I get home.

most dont wear gloves properly. I saw a woman at walmart who was all gloved up at the check out line...swipes her phone to answer it and then stuck it on her face. Then she dug out her card from her wallet..used the pin pad and then walked off. All i could do was just shake my head. She would have been better off just using hand sanitizer. All she accomplished is feeling like she is safe when she probably just made it worse and less sanitary. Plus her gloves had holes all in them. Masks are just feel good measures for people that arent sick. Most people are gonna use unsanitized hands to touch their face to take off the mask. At best it just keeps people from spitting while talking or coughing.

Im not wearing gloves. I dont have enough to keep throwing them away every time i touch one thing and need to touch another. Im not wearing a mask either unless i have a cough. I will continue to use hand sanitizer and continue to sanitize my throat with rum till its over.
