 People (retailer's I have visited) are still not using gloves and masks, regardless of what governors mandate or medical experts prescribe.

I guess the folks pushing for it are narcissistic.

 

Everywhere I go, gloves and masks are being used extensively.  Not really sure about the workers using gloves handling everything from various customers, but it is what it is.

There's three points about this: you're going to have persons who are tin foil hat types that refuse to wear anything. But the two biggest points as to why individuals may not be wearing anything is the breakdown in supply chain. It may be 'ok' in certain states, but in others there's a clear problem. Both business owners, doctor's offices, and the general public are having problems obtaining needed PPE. Even basic cleaning supplies are in doubt. Trying to make your own mask can also be a problem, as the materials to do that are in short supply.

   Someone at work made some really good ones.They have a little slot to put a filter in, and even has the little wire piece that fits around your nose. I grabbed a couple because face masks are required outside in Denver at the moment. I still don't want to waste surgical masks just to walk from my car to work, so a reusable mask that can be washed works best for that purpose.
