My dear son is driving me crazy by telling me restrictions. He said I should not buy any fresh fruit or vegetables, that if someone sneezed on them that cannot be washed off with water. No salads, no strawberries, and he says I should not go to the grocery store despite going in very non-busy hours and the only person I am close to at all is the cashier.
Has anyone else thought about these restrictions, and if so what are your thoughts? Of course I want to be safe, but do I really need to not buy fresh produce? He thinks even the produce that I cook could be a problem! He is a worrier, for sure. My daughter is too. She can work from home and would like to visit but her husband's sister is a Boston doctor and he would want to visit her so that could introduce germs here. On that, I think I do have to say no, not to visit.
Our doctor friend, when he heard that I went to the grocery store very early this morning told my husband to take my keys away!

My husband did go with me to the grocery store last Saturday, but I won't take him along again. I asked his neurologist about his appointment he was supposed to have tomorrow. He said that as it was just to be prescribed a new medication he said to reschedule later and he called in the meds. Thankfully our pharmacy will mail it so we don't have to go pick it up.
My supervisor saw to it that I am able to work from home until it's safe for me to return. I am thankful for my coworkers and the agency where I work. It was approved immediately.
Our church also sent out an email that anyone with or health or compromised immunity to stay home and watch the recorded service.
Many blessings and be safe,

@contentandwell JK - Here's how I deal with well-meaning but over-the-top advice:
Ask, "Would you please give me the citation of the CDC or Public Health Web site where you found the information? Then I can read it carefully and decide what to do. Thanks for caring." I also use it when presented with crazy internet-based or "John Jones said" info about Covid-19 (or anything else.) Maybe you can try it?
