I think with Notchys maths, the right glove doesn’t know what the left glove is doing.I think you may need to check your maths there.

A BBC documentary last night claimed ministers counted every glove individually instead of in pairs to boast of delivering one billion bits of PPE to NHS staff frontline - as yet another minister suffered a shambolic round of interviews today.
The Panorama investigation said Number 10 had failed to procure enough protective equipment, such as masks, gowns and visors.
It also accused ministers of counting 547million gloves individually, instead of as 273.5million pairs, to fiddle PPE numbers.
The one billion figure also included items which are not considered PPE, including millions of cleaning products, waste bags, detergents and paper towels.
I thought gloves were counted in singles but then is it a bit underhand to say billion of equipment when it was something like 887m pieces and then double counting for the gloves - unles there are a lot of prostate exams happening!
But ordinarily they are used in pairs, so a box of 100 should be counted as 50.
Ok, but that is not how they are sold.
It might not be the same in the health service but when I use them, I tend to use more on my right hand than the left so maybe they should be sold as 33 triples. That's why Conny has one left over.
That's a bit under hand.You wouldn't be saying that if you had a loved one who has to reuse infected equipment or not use substandard equipment - bin bags anyone?
I bet you do!No I often use 1 glove.

I've just asked Matt, out BM transport manager how many items are on the lorry. I couldn't remember whether it was 6 or seven tonne bags of sand.I've got a box of cotton buds here.
So that'll be 250 pieces by Matt Hancock's maths.
I bet you do!
But the medical profession tend to wear them as pairs. I have spent enough time as an inpatient to observe this, you see.
hogwashBecause he's a 'half glass full' rather than a 'half glass empty' kind of guy?
