John, Obviously, I don't know when this took place, and doing good for others is never a bad thing, but in today's environment we cannot be too careful, especially with strangers, as we don't know where they've been ...
Our daughter, God bless her, has been doing our shopping, and before she takes anything into the house she wipes everything down ...
Do good for others, but
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !!!

WASH, WASH, WASH !!!

Tony, there cannot be too much of that kind of talk, Thank you.

John C.

Overhere in Holland there are many people offering help to the needing in the corona crisis
Mostly groups of students...

Also a lot of peoplewith prior medical training are offering their helpto hospitals freely..

Often bad times bring in out the best in people..

Yes John , please be careful if out and about.

This virus is spreading because it's easily picked up from smooth surfaces. It can live on smooth surfaces for up to nine (9) days, and on cardboard or cloth for 1-3 days. This wasn't widely believed or publicized at first, and a lot of people were infected as a result. It also has a long incubation period, so don't assume you or anyone else isn't infected.

Good intentions aside, I wouldn't let anyone touch my groceries. I agree that wiping down the outside of anything that comes into your home is a good idea. Wash your hands!!

Also treat the mail or newspapers in your mailbox with care; I put it on top of a radiator for a while, as the virus can't stand warm, dry air longer than a few hours.
This method has also been recommended to reuse surgery masks by a German professor for medical hygiene.

And everyone is wiping their KBs also, right ? ...

Nope, nobody touches it but me. Nobody even comes in my music room but me and the cat, and I've even quit letting him lick my hand.
