Related: About this forumCoronavirus: Wear nitrile gloves at the grocery store.
They're fairly cheap at Harbor Freight and other stores.
1. They'll protect your hands while grocery shopping.
2. They'll remind you not to touch your face.

And the food packages that are touched by shelvers, checkers and baggers?
My daughter pointed out that the baggers are often the same people who
bring in the carts which have been handled by many.
So much to think about.

I was the only person doing so, as far as I could see.

The main thing wearing gloves does is remind you not to touch your face.
Mine are blue.
Of course they also keep the virus away from your hands.
