What's Next, BLUE GLOVES?

I am not trying to be like Nostradamus in predicting this concern. Since the local government asked the locals to add face shields with face masks, the next thing that would happen is to wear 'blue gloves.' It can protect people from COVID-19, too. The mere fact, frontliners are wearing them now. Do you think it is practical to wear them? Do we need them? Image Credit: ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com

Why would they have to be blue?

Actually, we can use other colors. At present, most frontliners are wearing blue gloves. In some way, some people think it is safer.

@marguicha I also think so. Well, some people think this way. At some point, they need to be educated about this matter.

I am sure if it would be implemented here, the locals will be complaining about it.

@amitkokiladitya Since we are experiencing financial problems, I am sure some of them will complain because it is additional things that they need to buy, especially if there is a directive from the local government.

I guess it would be uncomfortable already wearing them outside under the sun. l know many frontliners are complaining wearing them even when they inside an aircondtioned room what more when you are outside.

When I used it for the first time, the face shield moist while walking under the sun. It is the same feeling when using it for the second time around. It will happen over and over again.

Nowadays, most people think that blue gloves are far better than the other shades of color. Perhaps they always seen them used by frontliners.

@DianneN I also noticed when going out, most people have blue ones. It seems the manufacturers love the color blue. We do have blue gloves here, too.

No I don't think its practical to wear them at all, we are setting ourselves up to break down the immune system.

@hillhjill I agree. The only thing we need to endure is to take air with a bit of restriction. However, it is safer to wear the face masks while doing it.

I also agree with you. Doing the handwashing or using hand sanitizer and the like are the best health protocol for us.

@Shavkat yes and we can still take in air and let our bodies do what they are designed to do.

I don't think wearing gloves prevent from getting the virus as well as the face mask and face shield. However the more protected the better!

I think proper hygiene is the best thing to do. There is no harm in doing these things though. It is better to have prevention.

@Shavkat yeah you are right! Though I'd just go with washing my hands after getting home from outside!

One of my doctors makes every person who walks in put on those blue gloves. I don't think the government will do that, but you never know.

You can still use it. There is no color required for using a pair of gloves.

No it's not practical to wear gloves and we have to wear (transparent) disposable gloves before touching anything in a store. The stores give the disposable gloves free at the entrance.

@Shavkat We have to sanitize our hands (there is an electronic dispenser, you place your hands under it and it sprays) then we have to get a pair of disposable gloves and wear the gloves.

For me personally, I wouldn't wear them. I don't like wearing gloves because I can't feel things with them on.

I do not use them when going out. I will be obliged if the local government implemented a directive again.

blue gloves are worn by surgeons in a TV series The Resident.
