It may be correct, but it only applies to continuous wear. As you note, they are excellent for avoiding problems in high traffic areas. The real challenge is to balance the scarcity of gloves, hand sanitizer, and surface cleaner. I wear them for market shopping. Drive to store. Put on gloves. Shop. Go back to car which I leave unlocked. Open trunk. Put in groceries. Close trunk. Remove and discard gloves. Drive home. That way I only have to wipe down the trunk handle on the car. Once I’m home, easy to wash hands and decontaminate suspect surfaces and packages. (Packaged non perishables stay in garage for 3 days to let any virus on plastic and paper surfaces expire).

I limit my outside of the home to essential shopping at most two stores. New glove each.

Keen said: "I take epidemics/pandemics seriously...having worked in Military Public Health overseas. I will survive." I was an industrial divisional Health/Safety-Environmental Manager... I too take this Pandemic Seriously. I have the feeling tho if I became a registered Republican, then I would be immuned... at least that is what too many think... ridiculous indeed. Political antiscience is dangerous ... Very!

Some are anti inoculation people thinking "God will protect me." To them, I would point out that if they believe the [which edit] Bible god on a bad day sends plagues. We are at the mercy of the Administration suppressing facts and guidelines. I as a scientist, listen to Dr. Fouchie and away from the USA watch Dr John Campbell from Australia. Campbell is very, perhaps too through regarding the statistics of the worldwide infection and death rate.

A big take away from the literature is the protective benefits of Vitamin D. As Campbell points out the disproportionate death rate of the dark-skinned communities may have a relationship to vitamin D. Dark skin decreases the sunlight to vitamin D in body production. Smoking sets the stage for increased lung damage by COVID-19 disease.

Edgar Allen Poe [1842] in the Masque of The Red Death describes Trump's by-position-wealth feeling of security that he will not end up with COVID-19... "The story follows Prince Prospero's [man of wealth] attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey [The West Wing]. The Masque of the Red Death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Prospero’s [Trump's] indulgence in the seven deadly sins: Pride/Vanity – Pride is the excessive belief in one’s own abilities, similar to vanity,... Envy – It is unclear who the Prince might envy, but he sure is trying hard to <discredit Obama>. [Google Masque of the Red Death and also its Symbolism]

I wear a different pair of latex gloves into each store, etc, and dispose of the worn gloves upon leaving. I ordered thousands of gloves months ago...when Trump was telling us that the virus was a hoax. I knew that he never tells the truth about anything, and that reality is always the opposite of whatever he says it is. So, I stocked up on masks, gloves, etc, early on. I also stay home mostly...going out just once, or twice, a month-at most-to get any TP, or other supplies I need. I need little, though, as I stocked up early. I am gainfully retired, so my SS, VA, etc, come in electronically, and go out the same. Most of what I buy is purchased online, and delivered by UPS, USPS, or FEDEX. I can do this forever. I live in a vote by mail state, so I can even do that from home. I am happy: reading ebooks, reading dead tree books, listening to audible books, streaming TV and movies, listening to digital music, having sex, and taking photos in and around my paid off home. There are countless small things to take macro photos of, several pets and a significant other to take portraits of, many birds, stray dogs, etc, in the distance, to shoot telephoto images of, and comical activities to shoot videos of. I live within my means. I wear gloves, and a mask, when opening delivery boxes on my porch. I discard exterior boxes while outside my home. I visit friends, and family, via phone calls, text messages, and emails. I take epidemics / pandemics seriously...having worked in Military Public Health overseas. I will survive. If you take this virus seriously, you can survive too. This thing is 56 times deadlier than The Flu, and Spring heat will not touch it. Neither will Summer heat. By Fall, the second wave will hit, and be worse than the first. In 1918, the second wave of The Flu was five times deadlier than the first wave. If you want to live, Social Distance.
