[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2259691, member: 68789"] I don’t think we know enough about this virus yet to be able to predict the future or know whether humans will eventually gain some kind of immunity. In the meantime I’m trying to take what precautions I can so I can enjoy life in the moment and see what happens next. We quarantine all that’s delivered or bought for us four four days, unless it needs to be put in the fridge or the freezer, in which case I don a pair of latex gloves and wash it thoroughly in soap, a high soap to water ratio. If there are breathing holes in the packaging I then put the contents in a sieve and rinse the soap off. I’s not eaten a soapy blueberry yet :rolleyes: We’re lucky enough to have an outbuilding, which is also my husband’s wood and tool store, in which to put the things that are in quarantine. It’s sometimes tempting to get those delicious oranges or tomatoes before the time is right, but we resist. You may well think that we’ve gone OTT, but I’m still trying to get husband to remove his shoes after we’ve been out for exercise, and I’m scowling at joggers who puff by without socially distancing. I’m a cranky old woman. I’ve not got to 70, and served time for 50 years with T1, to throw all that testing, checking, weighing, calculating and injecting, away yet. I’ve grandchildren to watch grow up and daughters, sons in and out law, friends and daily pleasures I don’t want to say goodbye to. I agree that much of the planet may well be better if there were fewer humans, but this morning’s waking nightmare that Ebola and Covid-19 teamed up made me realise it’s a possibility. [/QUOTE]
