In order to make a cheese sandwich I have to:
1) put on gloves to pick up loaf of bread, open bag.
2) take off gloves, take out 2 slices without touching outside of bag.
3) put on gloves, seal up bag.
4) take off gloves, lift up lid of bread bin.
5) put on gloves, put bread in bread bin.
6) take off gloves, put lid back on bread bin.
7) put on gloves, take butter out of fridge, take lid off butter.
8) take off gloves, get knife scrape off some butter, tub slides all over the place, put on glove to hold tub. Take off glove, put butter on bread.
9) put on gloves. take cheese out of fridge and open packet. Shake packet till cheese slides out and lands on floor. Get new packet of cheese, shake out onto plate.
10) take off gloves, slice cheese, put on bread. Cut sandwich.
11) put on glove, hold cheese packet with gloved hand, slide in cheese with other.
12) put on other glove, fold over cheese wrapping.
13) take off gloves, open fridge door.
14) put on gloves, pick up cheese and butter, put in fridge.
15) take off gloves, shut fridge door.
Turn around and knock plate on to floor where it shatters in to pieces, just like my mind!

Why would you wear gloves for food prep in your own kitchen? If your hands have been washed, the utensils through the dishwasher and the bread bin lid / fridge door wiped as usual -why the rigmarole?
I had nearly 20 years of living with DH after his transplant who was immune suppressed and at no time did I even go near your way of thinking.
I would never think of wearing gloves for food prep. Wash hands, wipe surfaces, fridge door etc with hot soapy water before you start or when you come in from elsewhere. Surely that is enough.
Of course toasting the sandwich would kill viruses and taste better! 
Better luck with the plate next time.
Good post artdecogran, I get it!
Tongue in cheek post - I know the virus is serious!
Am I the only one who can remember, in my childhood days, the odd roast potato (or similar piece of food) falling off the spoon when being served up and falling onto the floor?
All Mum or Dad used to do was pick it up, check no dust etc and whack it back onto whatever plate it was destined for!
We survived!
Oh and sandy sandwiches at the beach at summer picnics!
Could the OP be posting a bit tongue in cheek too? 
Great post artdecogran Were you ever a time and motions officer?
I don't like cheese, what do I do ? Don hazmat suit for jam butty prep.
