Yeah it’s better than nothing, to be sure. I just picked up groceries from Walmart pickup. Didn’t get near the guy (they will sign for you if you ask!) - opened trunk, in they went, said thanks and off the nice guy went. Encouraged him to stay safe!

But when I got home after touching the boxes, etc - left them on stairs until tomorrow, and went upstairs and washed hands like crazy.

My problem isn’t with washing hands. It’s with people misunderstanding that it will somehow keep them safe - which has been a MANTRA for weeks. It will not, in fact, keep anybody safe - only social distancing can truly do that.

Yep, you are DEAD-ON. I’ve been trying to get the point across in different ways, but not as effectively as you just did.
