But you do wash your hands when you come back from outside ?
Doing nothing whatsoever. Mother Nature has found a way to decrease the ever increasing world population, if that includes me then so be it. None of us own or have “ our time “.What will be will be. A small reduction in this ever increasing world population can only be good for humanity going forward.
I’m keeping my levels of hygiene at the same level I always have. I going out of my way to respect social distancing for the sake of others. My wife shops for us and 3 other elderly couples on her own, I wait outside the supermarket for her. I haven’t had physical contact with my grandchildren for 6/7 weeks now. I’m currently furloughed from work and may never get to go back.But you do wash your hands when you come back from outside ?
By following the federal and state government guidelines here in Australia, and using common sense and eating plenty of bacon...What are you doing to keep covid out of your home
My approach is pretty similar to @Brunneria. I live on my own, so only me enters the house and I'm strictly observing social distancing guidelines. I wipe with bleach wheelie bin handles, car doors, steering wheel, plus lots of hand washing after my limited shopping/but many delivery experiences, however so far not sanitising parcels. I use a face mask when in public (I've lived many years in Asia where social etiquette dictates the use of a face mask anytime one had a head cold or cough to avoid infecting others). I'm in a quasi-urban area, so it's hard to avoid heavy breathing runners, cyclists, dog walkers and family groups unless only on the local lanes and footpaths at extreme hours, so I now mostly exercise in my garden. Putting my energy into improving my immune system, HbAc1, following stricter low carb diet with supplements (especially D3, K2, zinc, Mg).I have no realistic expectation of keeping the virus out of our house forever.
Victorian terraces are not set up for social distancing, or handwashing near the front door, and Mr B has a job with high public exposure, and consequently likely high virus exposure. He keeps out of the mess room, wipes his equipment down with disinfectant wipes, attempts social distance where possible, thoroughly washes hands before leaving work and once home, changes immediately and does his own laundry. But keeping it out completely is simply a pipe dream with his job.
We wipe the wheelie bin handles, but no one touches the door handles except us, and we wash hands after.
Having read up on virus survival on packaging, And considering the above, I feel no need to sanitise food items entering the house. If I go into a shop I wear a mask, since I could easily have picked the virus up from Mr B and be risking passing it asymptomatically.
My preference would actually be to get the virus as soon as possible, avoid passing it on to anyone else, recover, be tested for antibodies, and then be in a better position to help out older family members than currently.
There is plenty of contradictory ‘evidence’ all over the place declaring that I am simultaneously high risk, low risk, and anything in between. Age, insulin resistance, co-morbidities, HbA1c, standard deviation, etc. etc. all factor in.
The way I see it, I may have had it already (sore throat/cough several weeks ago), and will definitely be exposed to it sooner or later, unless I totally isolate for the next 2 years (or longer). So I would rather focus on good nutrition, a strong immune system, a very low standard deviation and the best HbA1c I can manage, so that COVID-19 when/if it hits, is as mild as possible.
My compliance with government guidelines on social distancing it to protect others, not myself.
Yes my husband after workDo people come into your house and use the toaster, microwave, kitchen cabinets etc?
Isn't it better for him to wash his hands rather than wash everything he might touch?Yes my husband after work

Max68, I haven't done click and collect, but according to a friend who has used Sainsburys, there is a van in the car park. You pull up near it, get out of the car, call out your name at the back of the van (from a distance), move back, guy leaves crates with food packed in plastic bags next to boot of your car, he goes back to van, you load shopping into car and drive off. Man from van collects up empty crates. Sainsburys seem to have it well organised, but watch out for other shoppers going to go into store, who don't always observe social distancing rule.
If it's not Sainsburys, apologies, but thought this info might help someone else.
This has been an interesting post to read. All I do outside of normal hygiene & cleaning (and the rest of my household) is thoroughly wash my hands before I go out and and when I get back in. I'm now wondering if this is enough! Stripping off in the garage for a wash down?, notices on the door?, leaving parcels untouched for 24 hours etc? Wow, I am impressed with all of you. x
