This is great, but I’m still going to wipe down my groceries.
- joecot 6y agoI'm still going to wipe down my plastic and cardboard groceries when it's not a complete pain, but I'm probably not going to worry about spraying my produce with hydrogen peroxide.
- cableshaft 6y agoI just rinse produce before using it, like I should anyway. I do wipe down groceries that go in the refrigerator or freezer that aren't produce though, although I'm slowly running out of disinfectant wipes (we did manage to grab some hand wipes the other day, hopefully those are safe to use). I no longer wipe down anything non-perishable, just let it sit in quarantine for a few days before using it.
- mariushn 6y agoI'm washing most products (lemons, bottles, plastic containers...) with water& soap. Isn't it good enough?
- cableshaft 6y agoYeah, that probably could be enough, especially if you scrub enough. Like with our hands, the soap and the friction makes the virus break apart (somehow, I'm too tired to look it up). You might even be doing better than I am, since I just do a quick wipe and I am stretching each wipe really thin (trying to only use one or two per grocery delivery).

- phobosanomaly 6y agoWhat are your thoughts about the risks of not training your immune system with sub-infectious doses of the virus? I usually take the opposite approach. If I have an opportunity to expose myself to sub-infectious doses, I go out of my way because I figure it's an opportunity for my immune system to build a more robust defense against the virus in case at some point I get exposed to an infectious dose. I figure the tiny amounts of virus that may be present on my groceries provide a wonderful classroom environment for my T and B cells.
