I worked a job for 30 years that required hasmat certification to level 2. That is SCBA, Sarnex white suit, full face respirator, taped on glove and boots. All other PPE up to that level was recertified each year.
I will say with 100% certainty that the home made masks I see being worn are useless. They are only to give the ignorant piece of mind. Most people want to "do something" about the virus. Since we can not do anything of substance we have been forced to wear useless masks. I see people wearing knitted masks with their nostrils exposed. People wearing masks while alone outdoors and while driving alone. It is about "virtue signaling" not sound medical and PPE practices.
I will not attend any shoots or other outdoor events until the mask stupidity is receded. If that does not happen sooner than later I will move to a free state. I read Idaho is now fully "open", maybe it is time.
Spit patches and handling lead is a bad idea. Use moose milk, mos, or something like that. Putting your your lead contaminated fingers in our mouth is much more likely to cause health problems than this over hyped virus.
