COVID-19 and MAC: What are you doing differently to protect yourself?

We've not taken any novel measures as yet though I've toyed with the idea of stocking up on brown rice and whole wheat pasta which I use lots of anyway. If things become harrowing with food shortages we can survive for a while on whole grain starchy stuff.
Related, though not spot-on topic, several years ago during "flu season" I began substituting a fist bump for an open-palm handshake, often saying as I do it, "flu season handshake," hopefully thereby minimizing the chance of the other person taking offense I usually add the verbiage regardless of the season. In Health, Don

@thumperguy, Personally, I would start to stock up now before the public goes into panick mode.
@thumperguy, I have started stocking up on things in the event things get a lot worse. I bought a huge bag of Jasmine rice, canned veggies and canned tuna. Will get bags of dried beans today. I bought a big bottle of bleach for wiping down common surfaces in the home (door knobs etc). Also, getting frozen meals for nights we don't want to cook. Better safe than sorry.

@thumperguy -- Your "Flu Season Handshake" is a great idea! However, I would always wash/sanitize my hands after "fist bumping" as well.
On the subject of "touch avoidance" -- Other things to avoid touching: elevator buttons; ATM machines; and fast food Order Boards. Use your knockles instead!
