Why gloves?

Hand washing seems like it would serve the same purpose and more effectively (I believe to properly sanitize the cotton gloves, you’d have to bleach them, and how do they protect you anyway? Viruses can’t get through your skin unless you have an cut).

The masks have been shown to be effective in reducing the spread of disease. It’s essentially “cough/sneeze into your elbow” but much more effective.
