And by the way, when I do go outside, it's with a P100 mask, goggles, and gloves. I leave my shoes outside, go in through the garage, take off my clothes, throw them in the washing machine, sanitize my hands, and then take a shower. For god's sake, this thing is so serious that we're not allowed to go outside for normal activities or go to work. We are all prisoners on very limited work release. If you're not taking extreme measures to protect yourself, you're an idiot.

Since this is important to you I feel the need to tell you that your doffing procedure is incorrect and will lead to you being infected. You're missing two hand-washings. If you're removing your mask in the same room as all the other stuff you're potentially breathing in infected particles. Here are three doffing procedures specifically for covid-19: https://twitter.com/EMedSligo/status/1245948283576561670/photo/1 https://twitter.com/EMedSligo/status/1245948283576561670/pho... https://twitter.com/DisneyBen/status/1245224791122030592/photo/2 https://twitter.com/DisneyBen/status/1245224791122030592/pho... https://twitter.com/ashaukat09/status/1245169306234769408/photo/2 https://twitter.com/ashaukat09/status/1245169306234769408/ph... This is supported by your Cochrane review: > Compliance with interventions—especially educational programmes—was a problem for several studies, despite the importance of such low cost interventions. Routine long term implementation of some would be problematic—particularly maintaining strict hygiene and barrier routines for long periods, probably only feasible in highly motivated environments such as hospitals without the threat of an epidemic. Something like 80% of infection of healthcare professionals happens during doffing. These are people who are trained to don and doff PPE, and who are supported to do so by their infection control teams. https://twitter.com/drbencb/status/1236635924274057216?s=20 https://twitter.com/drbencb/status/1236635924274057216?s=20 https://twitter.com/NydahlPeter/status/1244875837448638464?s=20 https://twitter.com/NydahlPeter/status/1244875837448638464?s...

The other comment on this subthread is such a comprehensive rebuttal to your paranoia that I can't add much. But I do want to say this: you should feel ashamed that you've taken valuable medical supplies from front-line responders. There are global shortages of masks and eye protection. You don't need this equipment, and your paranoia is risking the lives of other people who do.
