Theoretically I see your point. No one has tried it with me.

:(

Maybe someone else has a better idea?

We’ve been using the clorox wipes to touch the screen/hold the gas pump and then wiping down the card when we’re done.

Then you might have to touch the bathroom handle door after you wash your hands.

I have been aware of that problem for a while, and usually try to,open with a paper towel.

A lot of public bathrooms don’t have paper towels anymore. They only have handblowers.

MICHIGAN — The number of coronavirus cases in Michigan jumped to 25 as of late Friday, state health officials reported.

Once it was confirmed that he tested positive, the Bay County Health Department along with Covenant HealthCare and other area county health departments have been working to inform patients, staff and others that have had contact with the physician and provide them information to ensure that they take immediate actions to minimize the exposure of others, the statement said.

Two adult females and an adult male from Oakland County. The Oakland County Health Division said in a statement the new cases include a woman with international travel history and an adult man and woman who are a couple with no travel history.

New exposure locations provided by the county include a Walmart at 3301 Pontiac Trail in Commerce Charter Township, March 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; and New York International, a grocery store at 7435 Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield Township, March 4 from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Are you really this naive? Go to China sometime. You’re perspective will change. That is.... Unless you’re a national.

I love my Sams club gloves now. My routine if I have to go out, I hand sanitizer, put gloves on, then when I get to wherever, I put sanitizer on gloves and a smear under my nose. I come home, Lysol spray bottom of shoes in garage and leave them. Remove gloves, sanitize bottom of feet, wash hands., glass iof wine if after 5 pm.

I am actually serious about this.

My other problem is that I have allergies. My face and nose itch frequently during a typical,day.

It is virtually impossible for me not to touch my face.

The last thing we need is all the leaders of the world gathering for the Queen’s funeral!

And, anyway, she’s a pretty nice girl...

Wear a face shield when you are out, that way you can not touch your face.

speaking of Corona, Mr. BP stopped at the Walmart Corona

Shelves are wiped out. Veggies/fruit wiped out. People waiting for deli cold cuts/hot food. Still have ice-cream. Pre-packaged frozen/refrig wiped out. Said it looked like a zombie apocolypse canned goods feeding frenzy.

Parking lots are crazy. And some crazy messican wanted to fight Mr. BP over a banana bunch he had in his hand - bananas!!.

Lady from Stater Bros said canned goods are wiped out there, too. She bought stuff she didn’t really need because she thought it won’t be restocked.

LA shut down schools. Now provisions being made for 40 school family centers, for 3 meals a day plus babysitting (80% are below poverty level so qualify for free meals), which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense difference between keeping schools open and siting babysitting centers

Thank goodness it’s Friday. Corona Royale Reserve time

The more you dont want to scratch something..the more you will want to scratch it.

It's like soon as I pick up something heavy with both hands, my nose starts to itch. Weird. Must be some evolutionary advantage, I suppose
