I presume you are staying in and making sure you wash your hands after contact with anyone and anything. I am staying in as much as I can and only going out for grocery shopping. My discussions with an elderly relative have included:-
1) Wear gloves and wash hands after fetching the wheelly bins in (they have been in contact with the refuse workers).

2) Wash hands after handling letters, newspapers, library books or cash (they have been in contact with many other people).

3) For those doing their own shopping, wash hands after handling supermarket trolleys or baskets. The same applies to:-
* door handles
* cash-point machines
* payment equipment in shops
* public lavatories
* dog refuse bag dispensers and bins
* anything whatsoever that could have been touched by someone else.

4) I have noticed that shop workers wear disposable gloves - it would be a good idea for shoppers to do the same thing.

5) Infection can enter your eyes as well as your respiratory tract, so that is the rationale of being apart from others. Only touch your face with clean hands. It is not rude to remind people to stand back if they are closer than 2 metres (6 feet).

6) Alcohol gel kills the microbes but soap and hot water are better as they wash them away with the dirt.

Sorry if all this seems like stating the obvious but I have seen from my discussions offline that many things are not as obvious to others as I thought.

With sensible precautions we can come out on the other side of this.

Stay safe Admin' and everyone.

I believe soap damage/kill the coronavirus quite well.

But yeah I am staying home for a while now. The healthiest person in our household is given the task every few days to go out shopping for essentials.

Never expected the coronavirus to change life like this, but I hope we all will manage. And hopefully this will bring some positive change afterwards for DWP, benefits and everything else.

My understanding is that over 70s should not go out, but some of them think that does not apply to them and have refused offers of shopping, preferring to go themselves. It can be frustrating for those offering to help. This has been my experience anyway.

Indeed wish everyone on here, can survive this all OK;

Use Technology to the Max, Shopping on line reduces the risk of going into shops and using public transport, just wear gloves for the delivery,
gas & Electric for most people can now be topped up on line using smart meters. keep in touch with family and friends using social media.

So Keep Safe Everyone.

Good advice from Paul and Caker there, if the majority of us follow those guidelines our risk of catching this damn virus should be minimal. Everything seems pretty surreal at the moment, but I'm sure after a week or so we'll get used to this way of living.

So, stay safe everybody and hope we all come through this!
