It’s the same thing with the masks. People wear them all day, many days in a row without even washing them. They put them on before they enter a store, touch 100 items, touch their clothes, then touch their mask and their eyes and mouth and nose... then remove the mask on the way out the door to their car.

I am all for proper hygiene. I admit I don’t know if this is perfect but better than nothing I think - I spray disinfectant on my mask (and wash it in the machine every so often), and I sanitize my hands with alcohol gel sanitizer. I carry both spray and gel in the car. I spray things before I touch them... like gas nozzles and ATM machines. I had to buy a new printer they made me sign with one of those electronic pens and I gave the clerk the stink eye for making me touch it... she smiled knowingly.

I spray my car door handles, door frame, and inside door handle and steering wheel. I spray boxes and cans and bottles as I remove them from the bags. Then wash my hands with soap and hot water vigorously like I was a surgeon. My wife insists all my clothes come off (yay!) and straight into the wash every day. Can’t even wear the same pair of jeans for more than 8 hours. And if I should sit on the couch in those jeans... well, she’ll douse the cushions too.

That's better than allowing them to mouth-breathe ejections of their virus rapidly into a crowded, indoor space ten feet in front of them. An employee at a Walmart told me today, that there was only one customer who obviously didn't try to wear a mask properly. She took it off after getting in then left it dangling from one ear. The employee said that the mask-less customer weighed about 300 pounds and wore an undersized T-shirt and shorts.

I only do that periodically as usual. When the car is parked, the temperature in that car quickly rises enough to deactivate the virus. The wheel and handles are too hot to handle.

You certainly appear extreme in disinfecting everything you touch....including your masks.

I don’t disinfect anything. I wear disposable gloves and disposable masks when shopping or out .......wash hands when I get back home. And stay distant from people. The rest is in the hands of God for he knows where this virus is hanging out.
