I do the same, Bloof. I wear a mask, but don't sanitize my groceries or meds.

Watched a how to make your own mask video using a handkerchief and two of those stretchy rings people use for their pony tails. Works pretty good but where can you find those stitched cloth masks everyone else is wearing. I sure can't sew.

There is a local seamstress in our area. We gave her a call and she was getting a lot of demand for them so she starting making them to sell. We got 3 for 10 dollars.

Well, I was wearing gloves. Then saw a report on our local news saying that it really doesn't do any good because you're cross-contaminating as you touch things. Now I keep a little bottle of hand sanitizer with me and use that.

Are you tracking your outdoor activities so you know if you are in the virus' time table? Every time I leave, I note the date and places I went. So I know myself where I possibly encountered the virus.

I remove all items from boxes into another box before it gets in the house. Also, I now put juices in containers. Soap wash cans. Frozen pizza wrapped separately in slices in foil. Frozen fish, vegetables, fruits in separate plastic bags. I'm not playing around anymore.

Outside clothes don't make it in either. In a bag and straight to the wash.

I wear gloves. But I only touch what I'm getting at the store. I wipe down the cart handle too. Then use one glove hand to push the cart. Other glove hand to take items. Gloves to garbage before driving away. But I always carried cotton and other disposable gloves before for rare books and comics I might come across.

I just remembered one of my favorite movies when the news was talking about outbreaks in the jail.



There is a line in the movie about people packed or crammed tight together and how they started the virus. I love this movie.

I am able to track where ive been by my debit card transactions. I only go out to buy things never to just "browse". Groceries, gas etc.

I wear underwear. But I have no problem walking around naked too.

But anyway, real problem in the United States. I knew it was in the air. But we now know to have a liar at the top of our government. Someone who doesn't care. Forget about shooting one person on the street. It will be 200,000 deaths soon. And even more than that in the future.

Politics is not my forte by choice but Mr. Trump has influence. And that influence probably cost many people their lives with regards to how they treated this virus. Such a posturing buffoon.
