I'm retired, live alone, and only go out once or twice a week to the store to get what I need. I wash my hands once I get home, and wash them again after I put my groceries away. I spent 25 years in uniform working in NY State's prison system without ever wearing a mask...all during the HIV outbreak, and any other disease that came and went. Never got sick once. No need for a mask now.

My friends told me to use hand sanitizer. Hell, I run to the bathroom every half-hour to forty-five minutes, and wash my hands every time after I'm done. Who needs hand sanitizer, only to have to wash it off every time my bladder whines?

I have a big box of unpowered latex gloves that I use when I'm separating meat for freezing, or doing food prep for the holidays. Wearing those gloves while peeling potatoes keeps the starch from the potatoes drying out my hands.

Washing hands with soap BEFORE you touch FACE is more helpful than any other procedure. I don’t use hand sanitizer as well. When you bring groceries home, keep the non-refrigerated stuff in the garage for a day or so. Scrub off the plastic containers with refrigerated stuff (milk, sliced ham container etc) with soapy water before placing in fridge. Then final step—wash hands. I also throw in things like oranges, banana’s, avocado’s etc which all have tough skins, in the sink filled with soapy water and rinse with water. Because who knows which people pawed them before you picked them at the store.
