Honestly I dont see how remote learning works for science / engineering classes, especially if there is a lab involved. And based on what my brother's high school age kids told me about how labs were done, not really learning anything.

So I have one kid away at college and one living at home and going to college at the moment
The older one is at an engineering school and they have mostly left it up to the prof to decide if its in person or on line, (most of the profs arent the most healthy group of people on the planet if we are being honest) but they are doing the labs in person - and usually using a TA or someone to "teach" the lab portions.
For the one I have living at home they are 100% online except for labs, so she has a chemistry lab and some other class she goes in to once a week -

Whats sort of funny is now there are cases of the surgical masks everyhwere you go and it appears they are not really big sellers (too much supply)- but I have been doing a bunch of staining for a little woodworking project and I cant find those blue latex painting gloves anywhere - I also like to wear them when I change the oil and perform other maintenance BS on my families fleet of vehicles. I had a decent supply a few years ago....

Where is my mind?
Gloves are going to be in short supply now with schools reopening for in-person learning.

really hope they are not wearing gloves in schools (not that my staining project is more important) but I dont see much of a point to it. If we were getting it by touch Id say we would all been goners long ago..

I'm about out of my supply of those 5mil nitrile gloves as well, down to my last box. Couldn't find them my last trip outside either.
I did find some one size fits all nitrile gloves at Home Depot a few weeks back. I was able to grab two boxes at the time (16.99/100). They're a hair looser than I'd like, but slightly better quality than the Hardy 5mil from Harbor Freight in the right size.

There is a "secret hallway" at the wifes work between the ICU and the OR's / ED (Why they stopped calling it the ER i'll never know) but she said out of curiosity she took a clorex wipe and ran it down the handrail on the wall and said it looked like it hadnt been cleaned since before all this shit started...

I have some of those non-powdered ones that I picked up when I started my on-demand sourdough pastry course... They were recommended for use when handling super sticky enriched doughs, like brioche. I plan to reserve them for that! I still have to learn how to make sourdough danishes and, the holy grail, sourdough croissants!
- Because it's not really a "room" in most hospitals like back in the day.
and
- Because they want it to be on equal stature of the cardiac department, and the ob department, etc

So now everyone will think that is where you go to get your Erectile Dysfunction taken care of!
I dont know anyone who ever thought "less" of the ER- but I have met more Neuro and Cardiac Surgeons than I care to honestly and they will tell you that in fact their shit doesnt stink and they are better than anyone else in the hospital. No matter what they change the signs to say...

It's not an emergency, until it is!!!
I'm hearing that there is a supply chain issue with gloves now. So don't expect to find any, any time soon. And I honestly don't know why people would be using them so much, outside of health care. I don't see any real protective advantage to wearing them to ward off COVID-19. You don't catch it through your skin, and you will catch it just as easily from touching your face with a contaminated glove as you will an ungloved hand. So just wash your damn hands, people, and leave the gloves for the health care workers and DIY-ers.

I've still got most of one of the big boxes of the Harbor Freight gloves. I forget which ones I got, but I think they were one step below the thick black ones. They also came in sizes which was nice because the, supposed, one size fits all are not for people with big hands. Got mine when I got the smoker so I can handle my meat without making a mess of my hands....
