Nothing wrong with that as long as you have no underlying health conditions.

Nah, already had it back in December/January. It did kick my ass for a couple weeks though.

Waiting on your test to confirm.

And don't get other people sick in the process.

My wife has had the virus for 5 days and no symptoms yet. I am afraid for her.

Yes, wilber1, unfortunately correct and there are 12 more days in April.

Right, some people die.

Even with much of the country under quarantine, this thing has killed as many Americans in a month as traffic accidents do in a year.

I go to the store NO gloves. I keep my CC in a shirt pocket with nothing else. Once done shopping I touch the bottom of my door handle and truck unlocks. I open back door and place goods inside. Close door and open drivers door and pump hand sanitizer into my hands BEFORE touching anything else.

Once home I bring everything inside to one counter. I then remove all my clothes and place in washing machine. I also place cc with items to be cleaned and use sanitizer on it. I put produce away and frozen goods. I then take wipes to everything else setting them in a clean area one at a time. Now I clean surface those goods were on and thoroughly clean my hands. Now I put away those items. When removing produce I place in sink and thoroughly wash and clean hands and surfaces again.

I also wipe my door handles on truck and RV that I touched so when all done I say "BACK TO SAFE ZONE AGAIN"

So gloves do no good IMHO. Leaving gloves on you are contaminating everything you touch inside the vehicle along with everything you touch, FALSE sense of security!!!

I didn’t read it or I missed it, but did you get dressed after you took your clothes off to put food away?!!!!!

Here is how I go out.
I get dressed and go to my job everyday like I always have. I get into customers cars and drive them. I do this many times a day.
I go to the store, grab a cart and things I need. Pay and leave.
I get home, put stuff on the counter and my wife puts it away. I then sit down to watch TV, I wash my hands before I eat (always have).
After dinner we sit down to watch TV. I’ll shower before I go to bed.

Come to think of it this is what I’ve always done! In fact everyone I know has done that and is still doing it.

Can’t wait till this is over so everything can get back to normal. As has been said, during an outbreak like this, some people die, it’s an unfortunate fact of life! But we as adults have to understand that. And no amount of hiding is going to make this go away. It will go away when nature wants it too.
