Thats why I don’t wear them but my wife is a bit more cautious and she should be given her medical issues. Her biggest threat is likely me. That being said in the long run we have been more impressed with how the precautions have kept all the other stuff as well as covid away. I keep worrying restaurants will stop using the light plastic gloves but luckily they seem to be keeping them. I would not be surprised if they looked at the data and saw a marked reduction in online complaints about eating there and then getting sick and decided it was worth the cost. That being said wearing the mask, to me, is nor more and maybe a little less annoying than wearing a hat. But gloves, especially disposable type, does not pass the value vs nuissance factor for me. Granted I live in the north so half the year I am wearing some kind of glove outside. I still hand sanitize and wash though.
Yeah and I don’t do it often or unnecessarily but I don’t really close myself off all that much. I just use a mask when in an enclosed public space or outside space with inadequate distancing when I don’t otherwise need to utilize my pie hole. So im not zero risk by any means but from my anecdotal data of the last 3 or 4 years its amazing how much it helps. Im wondering how long I can go without getting sick.

Breathing and eating unmasked at a restaurant is a much bigger risk for covid than anything to do with hands. Covid is airborne.
