I make sure and wash my hands often, and stay out of reach of sneezes. Wash everything including dishes with bleach solution.
************************************
During flu season, I try to limit my trips to stores, etc. I carry a canister of clorox (or similar) wipes in my vehicle & I try not to touch my face at all until I can get back to the car and wipe off my hands, etc. - anything my dirty hands have touched (door handles, pocket book). I also use the store wipes and wipe down the cart handles, etc. I have noticed, over the years since I’ve been doing this, that I have a lot less colds .... very, very few. If anyone is coughing or sneezing, I’m headed in the opposite direction, for sure.
Don’t forget the handles of the gas pumps.
Or ATM machines.
I carry both vinyl gloves and gardening gloves for pumping gas or anything else that requires I touch something God knows who touched before me.
I do stuff like that too, but mostly I stay home.
Young people don’t even think about stuff like this. My grand daughter asked me to babysit the great grand babies this past weekend, and I did.
When I got there, I saw amoxicillian in the refrigerator. Both kids had the sniffles and one had an earache. Did my best with what I had available, but I am sure I’ll be sneezing and coughing soon.
If only she’d told me before hand, I would have brought more stuff with me. It did bring home to me, how hard it would be to manage to take care of sick person without being exposed, even if you had the masks and gloves.
