COVID-19: Grocery Shopping and Take Out Food

Posted by Teresa, Volunteer Mentor @hopeful33250, Mar 26, 2020

Most likely when/if we need to buy groceries we always wipe down the cart handles with an antiseptic wipe. However, how do you protect yourself when you bring those groceries into your home? I just viewed this video from a physician in Grand Rapids, Michigan who offers some suggestions. Perhaps you will not find all of these suggestions helpful or practical, but I learned a lot. Here is the link to this YouTube video,

Hi @hopeful3320 and @fiesty76, here is the video link https://youtu.be/sjDuwc9KBps
If you put the video link in sentence or the same line as text, it will appear as a URL (link). If the link is on a line by itself, it will show as a video to play.

Thank you, Colleen, for the video tips. I've saved them to a reference file because I never understood how these worked differently.

Thanks, @colleenyoung, I wasn't aware of that!

This article came in my email this morning and I think it's pretty good. Frankly I think we will still not be doing takeout but the other interesting thing is that you do not need to worry about the food you eat because COVID is not spread through the digestive tract, it is spread through the respiratory system, so apparently you do not need to worry about the food and COVID, just the containers that the food comes in. Those need to be sanitized just like anything else coming into your home. .
