Regarding gloves?
There seems to be more than a few of the more serious covid-dancers who are wearing the blue "surgical" gloves, with cotton jersey gloves over them, with leather gloves on top. Sometimes winter ski-type gloves. Haven't seen too many of the "doing dishes and watching my nails" type. My favorite with the triple-glover with welding gauntlets...
Gloves are becoming a bit easier to get (at least the thick black kind that folks who work on transmissions like), but decent respirators are still "you gotta know someone." We keep them in the back for real customers.
There are still people out there who think that there are hundreds of people dying daily from the coof in this city... And it is Trump's/Musk's fault...
One of the groups which has largely been masked up until now, often with gloves, were POC... Okay... Black people. And I'm lately seeing less and less of those... Either they're dying off (doubtful), or waking up. I'm thinking the latter...
Of course, some see it as fashion. And, frankly, it was...
