True story here. I was at the grocery store today. An older woman was coughing and hacking all over the bulk food area and food bins she was pawing around in and never once even attempted to cover her mouth with anything. Annnnd, yeeeet, she is in the age group that we are all trying to protect by making sure we don't do exactly what she was doing. Unbelievable, truly. Behavior like hers challenges my compassion.
The curse of the elderly. Elderly= old A holes. LOL. Most of my friends where I live now are 70+ years old. Let me clue others in on what old farts really think.

They think that because they are old then everyone else has to just take their crap. They brag about driving like jerks. Going slow in the fast lane to annoy other drivers, etc.. LOL. I kid you not.

Same guys will light up a cigarette while pretending that they didn't see the no smoking sign. Tip? man not a cent more than 10% and that is a good tip in their minds. Are they poor? Hell no, just cheap.

From them I learned why so many people hate old bastids. When we go out I tell them the rules of behavior, violators will find their own way home. I hate being embarrassed.

Oh and dont go to an all you can eat buffet with old people. They like to steal cheese. Sometimes 1 gets the buffet while his friend gets a cheap dish like steamed rice, then the friend makes trips to the buffet and feeds the rice guy.

Old farts love salad bars for the same reason. Lots of stuff fit in their wives purses.. Thus my need for rules with them.

So being in your 70's are considered old farts...wow. Maybe they just shouldn't have had kids. And then you wouldn't have been born lol Think about that.

Wow...I have met people like that (of all ages) but you must live in a weird area. My parents are 70s/80s and don't act like that.

I should have mentioned that setting things in the garage for a few days is highly temperature dependent. If it's cold where you are that may not be enough time as the virus could go dormant.

I'd suggest reading up on it yourself as humidity also is a consideration.

That’s what I’m doing with everything except perishables. I unload everything into the garage, then wipe down perishables to put in the fridge and leave the rest to sit until needed. Simple.

I've found the fastest One-Step solution:

I Super-Chlorinated my swimming pool, and when I return home from grocery shopping I throw everything, bags and all, into the pool and then jump in with all my clothes on.

Not a whole lot to wipe down. Not out buying things.

Food is properly stored yes.

Hands are washed immediately upon entry.
