There's also a conspiracy-oriented minority who believe that masks are killing us!

I'm also still wearing gloves, which seems to have fallen by the wayside. I went to the ophthalmologist today and felt comfortable holding the paperwork clipboard and when the doctor handed me that plastic thing to cover one eye. I put gloves on whenever I enter an enclosed space and throw them away when I exit.
You don't need to wear gloves and be fearful of all surfaces in your world. Wash your hands when you are able to and do not touch your face when you are out in public. It is really that simple.
