i were vinyl gloves when out, and discard when back, have done for ages.
any gloves are better than none, less likely to touch nose/mouth. but if not disposable, need to be washed, ? in bleach solution, anyone know.
i dont do hot wash for laundry as it takes about 3 hours, costs too much heating the water, have very little that could stand v hot temps, and i have one of those washing machines that ought to be recalled, but i dont want to. believe its ok if not above 30c, and dont leave unattended. also has grey handle.
interestingly, i had a dream last night that a man and woman were coming out of my house wheeling w/m away. while i was out. guess its a generalised anxiety dream, things beyond our control, having to cope, unexpected difficulties, removal of autonomy, loss of control. which is the realities of life really, but mostly in the west we can inure / distract ourselves from our ultimate helplessness.
Do you try to keep childcare (fairly) equal between your grandchildren?
