Shopping is now indeed the “Pathogen Lottery..”
I haven’t been inside a store since late Feb.
We switched to delivery with Instacart, but there are a lot of other similar services.
Push comes to pull, you could try curbside pickup if your store offers it.
I Lysol or Clorox Wipe every single item I buy. But you can supposedly use soap and water as well. Then, I leave it untouched in my basement for over a week to let any missed virus particles die off. Only after a week OR TWO, will I put the item away - unless it’s something that needs immediate refrigeration or freezing.
Goes without saying, but wash the heck out of your hands afterward..and toss your clothes in the wash. Lysol your shoes and coat if you have Lysol to use..(rare as a purple unicorn at this point to buy - at least around here)..
Good luck..I’ve found shopping TRULY sucks at this point and it’s stressful beyond words for sure.
Yep. I don’t think most people yet understand that going to the grocery is a game of Russian Roulette, and every day that goes by, more bullets are loaded into the cylinder.
And it’s not just the grocery. It’s anywhere, but the grocery is the most likely place for people to lose this new game.
I refuse to live my life in a bubble like you. I will take reasonable precautions like washing my hands, maintaining a safe distance, etc., but scrubbing cans and then throwing my clothes in the laundry afterward like everything is radioactive is definitely cray-cray. Besides, God is in charge of when I leave this earth.
