For what it's worth — as I've said — I'm wearing gloves to help train myself to stop touching my face. I don't plan on doing it forever and I don't think it's a panacea. I do think all the face-picking I usually do is a bad habit and now is a *super, super* good time to break it

Ugh. I wish everyone would overreact rather than this placid incompetence. If fear produces vigilance then it’s a useful utility in combatting the outbreak.

Isn't having more people come closer to you defeating the purpose of all.the rest of your preventive measures? Maybe dip the latex gloves in red paint so that people think you're a butcher who works with blood or something worse. Guaranteed people repellent.

It's not the look Mason - it's the gloves Same with those f***ing awful masks Saw a woman wearing one in her car - maybe she'd robbed a bank?

Maybe she was sick or immunocompromised, don't recall a lot of bank robbers wearing latex and N95s

Finally, official advice to stop handshakes in this country. For some people it is so difficult to avoid and even insist after you politely refuse. Sometimes I think we deserve the asteroid.pic.twitter.com/bhEkzXolHD

(in this country you are supposed to shake hands *every day* with *all* your colleaugues... handshake becomes kiss if at least one is female)

Everyone in Singapore and Hong Kong wears a mask. Starting to feel like Asia is becoming safer than the US, at least the general public there believes in preventative measures rather than this odd "I rather get the virus than potentially look strange" attitude
