Why is China spraying disinfectant everywhere? My answer is that the virus is on every surface inside and out, including the sidewalks and streets.

When I have to go out to the store I have wipes in my pocket and use them to touch the few things that I need. I don’t touch anything else. I use a wipe on the credit card keypad, and alway use the credit option, since it is less keys to press.

I also wear slip on/slip off shoes and take them off outside when I get home. I have a paint roller tray and a bottle of spray disinfectant out there. I spray the bottoms of my shoes and leave them out there in the tray until next time. And then I spray the entry way into the house for good measure.

I wipe my purchases down or wash them in the sink (fruit and vegetables). I also wipe my keys and my phone, which I try never to take out of my pocket in public. And then of course scrub my hands and face.

I’m now trying to work out a system where I only use one set of clothes to go out and then take them off afterwards and throw them directly into the washer.

I might start wearing nitrile gloves too.

Two patients in Florida have died per ABC news.

No details yet- just breaking.

I only wear flip flops because I need to feel the walking surface. They are always left in the car.

Years ago, I started washing hands before and after unloading. Vegetables get washed with soap and water.

Been dumping hand sanitizer on the shopping cart and myself and car when I get back in the car. Need to start carrying Clorox wipes.

I have to take and pick up my autistic Grandson from school, or I probably would only go out once a week for errands. I don’t care what the deniers are saying. Apparently, they can’t read...

I just don’t think soap and hand sanitizer is going to work.
