Probably just as bad, crates packed by god knows who, cuffing their dribbling noses between skiving off for toilet visits without washing hands. The crates loaded into a van that goes to various other customers who are trying to infect the driver, who in turn comes to me.Shop online. Get the goods dropped at the front door and wipe the individual packages with anti-bacteria solution before bringing them into the house.
I think that if you wipe the packaging as I suggest, you will be adding a protective barrier. One more layer of difficulty for the virus to spread. Not foolproof, but a reduction in probability.Probably just as bad, crates packed by god knows who, cuffing their dribbling noses between skiving off for toilet visits without washing hands.

No, the choice is simple. Either climb the side of a mountain to live in a cave, growing veg and dying from pneumonia, or just carry on as usual as I'm doing.

his points are usually challenging but not illogical.Masochist
Agreed, and that's me most of the time, seeing very few or none. I don't use any public transport, only the car or walking alone, so the supermarket a couple of times a week is often the only time I get near to people.Been out walking the dog for two hours this morning and never saw a single person. That’s more like it.
Not possible though. I buy loose fruit and veg and some things elsewhere are loose within thin card boxes that are not totally sealed. The current anti-plastic campaigns are exposing far more foods to possible contamination.I think that if you wipe the packaging as I suggest, you will be adding a protective barrier.

I think you got "but" in the wrong place there Woosh!his points are usually challenging but not illogical.
I have a cunning plan, go into the Nearest Conservative Club, or indeed Waitrose or M&S armed with a bundle of copies of "The Big Issue"Agreed, and that's me most of the time, seeing very few or none.

I’ve been in self isolation for four years... it’s called retirement ;-)Agreed, and that's me most of the time, seeing very few or none. I don't use any public transport, only the car or walking alone, so the supermarket a couple of times a week is often the only time I get near to people.

Same for me, except I don't even go that far, keeping my immediate family contact to a minimum and avoiding all other relatives.Heaven. I love being on my own, other people annoy me. I make an exception for family
But typical of a certain generation of teachers to stereotype indiscriminately - it should I think be asocial ( which I am quite as well) not antisocial (unless you repeatedly tried to set his car alight)Same for me, except I don't even go that far, keeping my immediate family contact to a minimum and avoiding all other relatives.
Fortunately time reduces their numbers, so I'm down to a sister in the USA I've seen once since 1956, that in 1974; a sister in Bulgaria I haven't seen for three years and a brother in Dorset I saw last year for the first time in eight years.
I'm unashamably a loner and much prefer to be without company nearly all the time. My last headmaster had me right, he scribbled "anti-social" on my final report as he expelled me.
So what, he's dead but I'm still here.
