After watching that video, I pretty much just said “Screw it”.

I mean if you have to go through all that to avoid getting it, I’m screwed.

It’s better to just not go to the store. Eat what you have prepped.

Yep, me too. no way I can do all that, I’m way too disorganized.

And then others are saying that video isn’t even proper procedure.

“I mean if you have to go through all that to avoid getting it, I’m screwed.”

I’m with you on that. When I see the virus tracing in Singapore and Taiwan, nearly all of their cases come from either people flying into the country, or people who are in close contact with known, infected, people. There are a few mystery cases, but only 1 in 20 or so.

I don’t see anything regarding supermarket spread, doorknobs, or opening the mail. And it makes sense to me, for if it spread that easy, virtually the entire world would have been infected in a week.

My mitigation is limited to the following:
1 - Stay reasonably clear of others if outdoors (and upwind)
2 - Order curbside groceries
3 - Buy everything else on-line
4 - If I have to go indoors, wear a mask
5 - Let packages and mail sit for 24 hours, and then open
6 - Give my masks a day or two to recover if used
7 - Avoid contact with others as much as possible. My wife has not been within 50 of others except our own family - for nearly a month now.

So far, so good.
