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.

Here's one thing I don't understand:
Take out food should be a huge transmission source. But it doesn't seem to be one.
I've not eaten any takeout in three weeks. Largely because my usual takeout was Whole Foods, and that's been closed. And no way am I going to a Starbucks. (If get frustrated and decide I want the virus so I can get the immunity and go on doing what I like, I will probably go to a Starbucks, as I can't think of any place where it'd be more easily transmitted.)
But I hear of all these people ordering from delis and Chick Fil A and Burger King, etc. And food deliveries are constant in my neighborhood. How are those places not spreading this like wildfire? The employees there tend to be working class, living in densely populated areas, using public transportation, therefore exposed to the virus at work and in their neighborhoods.
How are fast food places not causing spikes all over the country?
