Rainwear as PPE

[MissRachel]

About a month ago, I sort of lost track of time, I was toying with the idea of wearing my haz-mat suit to Wal-Mart but I am sure no one would have taken that as a joke. I would have caused too much of a stir.

I have noticed only one person wear an old fashion, Russian gas mask shopping but that was only once.

I also saw pictures of a women wearing a clear PVC purse over her head but that seems too difficult to breath in.

Stupid to!!

I would go for £1 raincoats.
The can be reused 4-5 times if need to be.

Wouldn't they need to be washed at 60-65 degrees between uses to kill the virus, would a £1 take that sort of treatment?

You may be right!
But could be sprayed with disinfectant!
(Not whilst being worn though!! lol lol)

PVC would defnitely survive a few washings at 60 degrees. PVC diaper covers can even be boiled after all.

Wont our American friends be following the advice of their President and injecting all the disinfectant they can get their hands on, none left to clean PPE

I would think PVC diaper covers are manufactured to withstand washing I would doubt a Poundshop mac meets the same standards

The more that do the less chance Trump has of getting re-elected

Let's hope the loon in charge is the first one to give it a try, would that count as Domestos abuse
