How come there hasn't be a recommendation to wear regular gloves outside? As long as you wash the gloves in soapy water, you'll kill the virus and
keep it off your hands.

washing hands removes the virus, doesn't kill it outright.
and wearing gloves will provide minimal protection in this instance.
just wash your hands and don't touch your face.

soap water kills it outright
@plungesponge first off, a virus isn't alive.
second, to "kill it" you need to denature or destroy it's protein structure.
third, washing doesn't do the above very well unless you use costic materials and hot water.
when you wash your hands you are removing the virus from your hands more than you are "killing it".
just as effective though, so what's the deal?
