I seriously hope masks don’t become the norm. There are those of us that they aggravate other health problems. I have an asthma attack any time I wear one.

For fabric gloves, they’d be pointless for health reasons as they don’t block germs and most gloves you can’t work your phone while wearing. (I know a few have a special fingertip but not all)

My thinking is that it will eventually become a fashion again. After all, the masks aren't medical grade, so they're not really stopping anything. They're really just meant to pacify people, so they won't buy out all of the medical masks from the hospitals and clinics.

Nope, disagree with you on that. They are another barrier to prevent the spread and a reminder to keep your hands from your face. I should know, I worked in a research lab with some pretty nasty stuff in my career. And with the current knowledge that COVID-19 may survive 3 hours in aerosolized form, you may want to consider wearing something protective if you can't social distance.
