I understand people want to wear gloves & masks for their protection but I cannot believe how bad people are at using them.
except I can, because I remember how long, how much instruction, and how much practice it took for me to get good at aseptic technique at a lab bench.

people keep making the argument that it& #39;s "better than nothing" but the problem when dealing with microbes is this is NOT true.
Imperfect use *is* the same as completely useless.

this is why there are so many health professionals attempting to educate and emphasize the importance of how you put on your mask on and take it off. If you do these steps wrong, *it& #39;s the same as not wearing a mask at all*
I have seen people wearing gloves and doing dumb things like touching their phone or putting their hands in their pockets.
Useless. Those surfaces are contaminated now. You wore gloves for nothing. They offer you NO PROTECTION because of your behavior.

At the grocery store I saw a man PULL DOWN HIS MASK UNDER HIS CHIN to speak to someone, then put it back over his face.
like wtf? what are you doing? is your mask decoration?

I don& #39;t wear a mask because I already know I& #39;m terrible at using it. I know because I& #39;ve handled viruses (ones that infect a respiratory bacteria no less! what a treat!). It took serious practice to develop good techniques, and those skills are rusty now and I can& #39;t salvage them.
But if the public needs to wear masks to pretend it makes them safer than my god we need to start running 60-second how-to instructions at every single commercial break + start a mass email campaign + more to show people HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY
because right now it& #39;s a big joke
