I apologise for doubting your credentials.

I'll still follow the WHO reccomendations; after working over fifty years in the Petro-Chemical and Chemical industries working with many deadly gases and chemicals I found the wearing of PPE very beneficial to my health so will continue to do so.

No apologies needed. How should you have known?
You made me curious whether the WHO really recommends wearing gloves for the general public outside special situations. They don´t : https://postimg.cc/HcvJM9w1

Again though, that is based on the false assumption that the gloves are kept on throughout the entire shopping trip.

As said I double glove and put both on before entering a shop and remove the outer ones after leaving. When I arrive home I remove the inner pair after cleaning down keys, steering wheel handles and shoes. I lived through MERS for three years so think my regime worked.

I've just read how New Zealand have been reacting to and dealing with the threat of the spread of coronavirus. IMHO it seems a very sensible approach and similar to the way that Cyprus is currently handling matters. NZ will be re-opening schools and businesses from next Monday and have adopted four phase strategy to get the country back on its feet.

Been thinking about quarantined people that have come in on flights where everyone has been tested upon arrival. If the tests come back negative for everyone, is there a reason, why they can be retested again after 3 / 4 days and if still negative not be sent home? Surely the costs of the tests will be significantly less than the 14 in a hotel ?
