Question about masks in restaurants

Folks, you've probably seen sterile procedure when watching how a surgeon gets ready to work. Notice how after washing hands, he holds his hands up so he doesn't touch anything, then the nurse dries them & the nurse puts on his gloves.
Yes, I realize we're not doing surgery, but the issue is, once our mask touches anything, we we've exposed it to whatever bacteria or virus was on that surface. Then, if we put it back on, we're introducing our nose & mouth to everything it picked up.

There is no such thing as a completely sterile environment. No matter what you do. But that's no excuse to go running amuck in it and making matters worse.

That's why, if going out to eat, I'd use a new mask after eating.
It's academic for me right now though because I don't go out to eat. No indoor or outdoor dining yet, and have no idea when I'll feel safe to do either.

I keep extra fabric masks, gloves and paper bags in my car.
