   Gloves cannot be cleaned once used. A thorough 30 second handwashing will clean your hands if they are visibly soiled. If not visibly soiled a hand sanitizer like Purelle will suffice. I was in health care for 35 years, and these are what are called “universal precautions”.

   “hospital staff would make me take off latex gloves even if they watched me Purelle them. Lots more spots under exposed nails etc. where a virus could hide.” They did that because gloves cannot be sterilized. The only way is to take off the gloves, sterilize your hands, and then if necessary put on new gloves.

   Three things to do if there’s an active shooter: First. Run away if you can. Second. If it’s not safe to run, hide where you can’t be seen, preferably in a locked space. Third, fight with whatever is at hand. Throw a water bottle, a phone, or anything that will distract the shooter. You may not survive, but you could save someone else. All this comes from a veteran cop who is now head of security at the hospital where I worked and now volunteer.

   What a bunch of bs. I’m a lifelong Midwesterner and a Christian, and I’m none of those things. Talk about a broad brush!

    Traditionally, flying the U.S. flag upside down was a sign of severe distress. Then MAGA stole it and corrupted it into a sign of their corrupt “Stop the Steal” insurrection.
