@rosemarya It could well be the end of hand-shaking. I did shake hands with people prior to this, I was never told I should not, and it never occurred to me not to. In fact, even doctors tend to shake hands.
Other than not shaking hands anymore, which I really have not had occasion to anyway since we go nowhere, I am just following the protocols suggested, which do create quite a bit of work -- cleaning everything off that comes into the house, etc. We set mail aside for four days before opening it, my husband has four rotating shopping bags set up in our foyer. We have not been out to a store in weeks. It's nice to have Instacart and Whole Foods deliver, but it's difficult when you are ordering fresh foods like produce and meat. I like to choose for myself. I don't dare order avocados since I could end up with soft and mushy ones.
I did have to go two labs recently which I was not happy about but it was necessary and the facilities were doing everything in a way very conscious of not spreading any germs.
