It was probably the wellies caught their eye.

The  large L and R lettering on the runnersis what attracted attention!

It would seem to me ratti ....and correct me if I'm wrong here pleaese........but every report I've seen of a hospital in china or a hospital in italy .......why is every doctor  or nurse wearing a mask .? ...... that is the question ide put to the HSE

I tend to agree with you on that, Octy. I think HSE should promote wearing masks and eye protection where it isn't possible to maintain a distance of 2 metres given that they include maintaining that distance as one of their six social distancing suggestions.

In fact I'm going to go as far as suggesting that taxi drivers who are working should wear surgical masks.

... and what about the produce you're handing, the same produce that is handled item by item by the checkout operator wearing virus infested gloves....

I was just over at the Centra across the road and the check-out operator changed his rubber gloves after dealing with each customer.

It's very difficult to remove those surgical type gloves without touching them. I think I'd opt for HSE's suggestion of hand cleaning instead of gloves. I guess you could do both.

Disposable gloves

Do not wear disposable gloves instead of washing your hands. The virus gets on them in the same way it gets on your hands. Also, your hands can get contaminated when you take them off.

Disposable gloves are worn in medical settings. They rip easily and are not as effective in daily life.

Wearing disposable gloves can give you a false sense of security.

You might:

sneeze or cough into the gloves - this creates a new surface for the virus to live on

contaminate yourself when taking off the gloves or touching surfaces

touch your face with the gloves

I met a recently qualified cabbie at the pharmacist this evening. I told him I'm off since the 13th because I didn't want to contract or spread the virus.
He said he's going out again tonight because people have been very good about coughing and sneezing into their sleeve. Add in the statement ", I'm bored at home!"

the lady on the right had Covid 19 when this picture was taken
the gentleman on the left has tested negative for Covid 19
if this was a taxi the gentleman would have his back to the lady
maybe it's not quite as  dangerous as you think?

Luck of the draw.

Who's fault will it be when you get the disease, erm...

- whoever does the shopping?
- whoever decided supermarkets can stay open despite their inability to implement 3 of the 6 social distancing measures suggested by HSE?
- Govt for not making any effort to prevent the spread, deciding instead to slow down transmission?
- TDH?
