I totally agree. I'm not wiping down my groceries with bleach and am willing to pee inside at like gas stations and will totally go to like, lowe's - amanda Sep 8, 07:46 8
- and it is a balancing act of what's statistically likely to get you sick.. i'm less likely to get it from random brief interactions than large groups - colin Sep 8, 08:04
- I was willing to pee at gas stations until the CG medical chief says she doesn't. It's a tiny enclosed public space. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:54
- I'm basically the same as you. I stopped wiping everything down a few weeks ago but I continue to wash my hands very often. The only stores I go to - Krusty Sep 8, 07:50 4
  - yeah, only food stores for us. i know the wiping may be excessive, but it's just become habit. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 08:00 3
    - I did it from March until a few weeks ago. Things are really good here and I'd read enough reports about it not living long or being much of a concern - Krusty Sep 8, 08:08
    - it certainly isn't hurting anything. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 08:05 1
      - Yup -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 08:13
- I don't wipe anything down. I wash my hands after handling. I am seeing a couple friends outside this week. Their kids go back to school - Andie Sep 8, 07:49
For sure. My wife and I were out walking (no masks) last night. A group of about 10 HS/college aged kids were messing around in the street between two houses ( -- (edited) - oblique Sep 8, 07:39 1
- I feel very lucky that people seem to be very good about it where I live. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:58
that's what we talked about.. this is how i feel okay and safe. i REALLY don't want to get COVID and we both WFH, so why not. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 07:25
