There is a thread about whether runners should be wearing masks. Mind you this is a single family home community. I ran today and was not within 10 yards of anyone the whole time. But one poster explained "if you are out without gloves and a mask and you get the virus on your hands and then you touch a fence, and then someone else touches the fence in the same place, you've spread it." Lady might have a PhD in virology for all I know, but she doesn't understand running and the typical occurrence of a need to touch fences. I will say, that we all do agree this fence touching is wrong though.

We're one of the most diverse cities in the country. I think our relatively low rates have to do with a) piss poor testing and b) we're more spread out and don't use public transportation that much. With regard to a), the hospitalization rate is pretty low (relatively) too, so I don't know.
The amount of mis-information on PPE in general is just through the roof. I had to explain to someone that gloves don't do anyone any good if they're not changed on a regular basis, so the lady at the checkout at the grocery store would have to change them every customer AND not touch her face etc for them to add value vs regularly washing hands/using hand sanitizer.
And I'm not convinced that the masks by the general public are doing that much good. And I've also made about 20 that I've sent to friends and family all over the country.
