It's a very large step! Especially compared to what we have now (sod-all).
Using gloves doesn't really affect the chances of transmission, having one pair that you wear all the time actually increases the risk, washing your hands is more effective at reduction. So gloves should only be put on at entrance to cave & removed on exit, with a different pair used if handling anything else (there is no need to throw them away, as can be used again after appropriate cleaning or quarantine).pwhole said:Personally I'm less worried by transmission by contact as I always wear gloves etc., but it's the shared air-space that makes me more concerned, and masks are just not happening, frankly.
