I’d like to add , as an extra layer of precaution, that when I do venture out to the store during non peak hours, I change my clothes when I return and I wipe down the bottom of my shoes or sneakers with disinfecting wipes. I also wipe down the item of every single thing I bought. I’ve always washed the tops of cans with soap and water and used soap and water on vegetables .even onions lol. My knife is going through the skin so I don’t want it contaminated. I have washed my reusable shopping bags but now I switching to plastic. I will still go to the store although not as often and I think, at this point anyway, it’s a good thing psychologically to get out of the house. I will be 79 next month and am healthy. I go for my 2 mile walk around 8 am when there are few people out. I’m trying to do my gym routine faithfully since classes are cancelled.

I could ask my daughter to pick up items for me as my family lives across the breezeway and I do computer work for her so am over there frequently but am now wiping down the work area because she uses it and is out in the assisted facilities . She just signed up for Telehealth so hopefully will be able to see more patients from home. Still, I keep my distance...no more hugs.

Don’t forget to wipe down the cars steering wheel (something I have always done especially when coming out of the gym) . Better to overreact .

I tried to stay 6ft away from someone in line at Publix and they cut in front of me lol. I let it go as he didn’t realize.
