No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Stay home as much as possible. If you really have no choice (i.e. living alone and groceries can't be delivered), wear (properly!) an N-95 or similarly rated mask and gloves (if possible). If you can't wear gloves, bring hand sanitizer with you and sanitize your hands regularly. Avoid touching your face and sanitize your hands in between touching grocery items. You can still be contagious immediately after first testing negative, so make sure to apply the same precautions until you're sure you are in the clear.
If you are literally coughing and showing bad symptoms, try to wait it out until you're a little better before going out.
Not meaning to nitpick, but I don't think the gloves add anything here. You're not shedding virus out of your pores, so the problem with hands is entirely from touching the eyes, mouth, and nose.
If you wear gloves and that reminds you not to touch your face, I guess that helps. Otherwise, you would need to sanitize or change your gloves regularly, and it may as well just be your hands in that situation.
You're right, I was thinking about avoiding infection on the gloves part, not the other way around (prevent spreading). But yeah, as long as OP avoids touching his face or getting bodily fluids on his hands, sanitizing often even without gloves should help.
