How is the corona virus affecting you?

Maybe I am missing something. Why the necessity of hand sanitizer? A 20 second wash with soap does a better job than sanitizer or wipes.

I only use the sanitizer wipes when I am out. At home soap and water work. But driving around, frankly, I sanitize the steering wheel, the temperature control panel, the drivestick, and the door handles inside and out. And I use it to sanitize my car keys and my cell phone - the latter of which I no longer carry with me when I go out.

(I also no longer carry a purse with me. My sole purse is fabric and not really amenable to a washing mashine.)

My Luca in hospital with this evil. My eldest son an I no with him. He so ill now from Keira say on ventilators he seem OK then got sick so fast. I say to Ray I walk home if I need too he volunteer to take thing to old peoples.
When Luca born he big baby for me close too he 4.5 kilo doctor an midwife cut me so much. He scream so much then he latch on, then he calm. Luca is so many way like Ray, big man with a heart big an he do any thing for any person.
I pray he will be OK . Luca made before Ray an I marry.
Remember stay inside home, my son fight for life now, he fit an healthy man he only 41. I hope no mama feel as I now.

I am in both camps. Soap and water wherever available which is really nothing new. As a kid in the 60s we were always told "make sure you wash your hands!!!"

In the car, we carry wipes, paper towels and travel bottle of sanitizer but always had them in the trunk long before coronavirus just as a backup if needed.
 
Now, stores won't let you bring in the bags that you already have at home. They are saying that covd-19 germs may be in the bags. This is so stupid & ridiculous!! They tell you to be safe by staying home. The good bags that you bought, you can't use them, because now, they are supposedly germ infested!!

But Trump is saying that governors in all states can use their own discretion as to whether they would allow eateries to open for diners.

The one big change for us is grocery shopping-we used to go together but as it is now 1 person per trolley TVC goes alone on Sunday morning-I don't drive. During the week I nip into Tesco for fresh stuff. Thing is he can't always get what we want so I have started picking up bits during the week that I wouldn't normally, today I bought washing up liquid, bag of sugar and cleaning sponges so that it won't be an issue if we can't get any on Sunday.

Here in Ohio, we can still bring our own bags, we just have to load them ourselves. I just bought these today:

I normally do scan-and-bag, so these will be great - no one has to touch them except me.

We always take our own bags and pack them ourselves. The only place I have come across that pack for you is our local Tesco, some of the staff will pack for you, not now though.

Listen here, you whippersnapper, I'll look the bee's knees at the market, and with my purchases neatly tucked away, it'll be easy-peasy to reach in my pocketbook to pay at the till with exact change, not to mention how comfortable it'll be on these old bones getting my provisions into the icebox.

Now, come here and rub your grandma's feet - I'll give you a whole quarter. And some ribbon candy. And prune juice with a Werther's caramel. 👴

Sarana, how is your son doing today? Please update us when you are able.
🙏🙏
 
Making a longer post tomorrow. But today we had to call the cops on our (step)son for he had a mental breakdown due to his OCD.

We're ok now, he's calmed down enough to stay and we will soon get contacted by mental health crisis intervention. This Corona virus is really making things a lot harder and they were already tough. Am concerned about another 3 weeks like this..
