My life really hasn't changed that much since Judy retired almost 3
years ago. I seldom get 3 miles from the house, usually going over to
the FILs for something and she never goes anywhere but out on the
boat. Other than that 99% of my "going" is to a little shopping center
a mile and a half away with Ace, Publix and the pool store. I pass a
Walmart on the way but I am not sticking my head in that mad house any
time soon.
Ace will pull what you need and set it on the curb for you, pay
online. The pool store is the same way but those boys are soaked in
chlorine all day. I doubt much would live in there anyway. My only
real exposure is Publix and I am careful there, not touching much, not
touching my face, hosing myself down with disinfectant as soon as I
get back to the car. They have a person right inside the door wiping
down carts with bleach. I bet those babies rust up before this is all
over. ;-)

With the freezer, we've not had to go out much. Today I have to pick up a
prescription at Walgreens and will use the poop bag trick. Although, they may
bring it to the car.


I am dealing with that just by washing my hands after I handle the
packages and throw away the packaging. In the car I use my sanitizer
liberally. Things like my ramp keys are getting a bath in denatured
alcohol as soon as I get them. They can use a good scrubbing anyway.


I carry a dispenser of Purell with me everywhere I go, and use it
liberally. If I go into a store or shop, I spritz the door handle before
I touch it. I was able to score a four bottle pack of 1200 ml each of
Purell about 10 days ago off the "commercial account" site on Amazon.

One of our local grocery stores, Harris Teeter, has someone at a table
right inside the store to wipe off the handles on your shopping cart and
a dispenser of sanitizer as you leave the store. The chain is doing a
better job than Giant in trying to keep its shelves stocked.


I think the cart thing is pretty standard at the store these days. It
looks like a car wash. Too bad they aren't cute girls in bikinis.
My Ace and the pool store do curb side delivery.
