The agency reiterated advice to thoroughly wash hands after returning from the grocery store, and once again after putting groceries away. The FDA also urged shoppers to purchase enough food for one or two weeks on trips to the store, and avoid hoarding... Fresh fruits and vegetables, including those with inedible rinds, should always be scrubbed thoroughly under running water before eating. Canned goods should have their lids cleaned before opening. It's important to regularly clean and sanitize kitchen counters and other food preparation areas with disinfectant such as Lysol, the FDA notes.

Then why the great long list to clean hands, counters, packaging and food for everything under the sun except CV? Contradicting themselves, again. Who's paying them to say this? Someone definitely is. Follow the money.

Does anyone trust the FDA anymore? There are so many unsubstantiated claims in the article. Maybe that is not what they said and just the journalist interpretation.

There are still fomites and nothing wrong with ozone treatment (gas or water). I just use a large rubbermaid with a 50L/Hr generator. After this mess, I think I will continue to do the same. A large Sam's Club run is always a multi-hour task anyways.

The FDA discussing hoarding in the same article is rich. If people had not lost faith in government agencies, they would not impulsively hoard when both the CDC and FDA have been proven both incapable and incompetent in their duties.
