If you're this risk adverse, what are you even doing outside your home in the first place?
Edit: Do the downvoters earnestly believe the risk of going out in public at all doesn't dwarf the risk of touching a library book somebody else touched a day or two ago? The risk of surface contamination is dubious in the first place, not to mention libraries have a sad tendency to be lightly trafficked. Meanwhile grocery stores are packed and nobody leaves the pizza box they get delivered laying around for three days before touching it.
- ghaff 6y agoChecking out a library book specifically is almost certainly non-essential. But I'm sure there are lots of people who are being forced to leave their houses for various reasons (including earning money to eat) who really do have this level of concern about getting infected.
- catalogia 6y agoI understand that some people have no choice but to leave their homes, but as you say, getting a library book is almost certainly non-essential. It doesn't make sense that somebody with such a high level of concern would be spending more time in public than was strictly required.
