Do You Wear A Mask When Going To The Grocery Store?

Just curious, what do you do with your items? Do you sanitize them or wear gloves when opening them up? The virus can live for a day or two on most surfaces....

How are you handling deliveries at your place when they arrive? (Amazon, groceries, etc.)

My wife just told me she doesn't want to open anything in a box right away because of the air in the boxes. She'd rather spray down the boxes with Lysol, then open it the next day. Groceries, since they aren't in a box, get wiped down right away and stored. Thoughts?

Why would you wear that?
 
Hell Yes!. I wear an N-95 everywhere I go. I saw an interview with the guy who invented them and he said label 4 of them by number and rotated them. I wear gloves too.

I've only been to the store a couple of times since this thing started but I noticed a few things. I think most black people didn't have on masks on but they conspicuously maintained a safe social distance. The people who didn't wear masks and didn't maintain social distance were a certain class of white people. So-called working class. People you can tell who still smoke. The type of people you'll see at a MAGA rally. You can see they take a little joy in making people uncomfortable by invading their social space.
 
No, but right now the only grocery store I go to is the small 5 aisle Arab market near my house. This spot never has more than 10 people in it including staff. Social distancing is pretty easy there.

Prices are a bit higher and the selection sucks, but it's still better than waiting out in the rain for an hour to save a few bucks at Safeway.

Right now the only place I wear a mask is on the bus. Don't see the point in wearing gloves, but I have a small stash in case they become mandatory.
 
Wearing a regular ass mask ain’t stopping shit. You have to have a mask that is designed to stop anything airborne from going in or out of your nose and mouth. Regular everyday mask ain’t doing that. You should carry hand sanitizer instead of wearing gloves because of the fact that you will have to change gloves after everything you touch which people aren’t doing. SMDH! If you have the right mask then I can see wearing it, but if you don’t then it is pointless.

I change gloves. You get the medical gloves. I'm not sure about the washing dishing gloves some people are using.

And you shouldn't be touching your phone and shit with the gloves either to prevent cross contamination

or driving in your car with them on.

but I also see people with mask and they don't even have their nose covered and they pull it down...you aren't supposed to keep touching the mask.

No matter how many reports come out that say DON’T WEAR GLOVES because if you’re touching items that have been exposed you’re just spreading it to the next item you touch, people are still wearing them. I don’t know about the whole mask thing and what kind is safe but things are about to get crazy surrounding them. I’m seeing people using everything from T-shirt’s, scarves, to PAPER NAPKINS to makes masks with saying they are protectEd. I was on YouTube and some people were saying inserting coffee filters into their homemade masks makes it just as effective as a N95 mask

I don’t wear gloves. Unless you’re going to change the gloves after damn near everything you touch like a surgeon, I see it as pointless.

I just carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer.

I put on a pair of gloves on the way out, go take care of my activities, wipe down the steering wheel and surfaces in the car, and then dispose of the gloves on the way indoors. I wash my hands once I'm in the house.

I have plenty of gloves from my last place of employment (Hospital) and ones that I had for auto maintenance. The only reason I had a box and a half of masks on hand was from my wife's Chemo. The hospital gave us those.

I also have about 6 N95s in the toolbox for whenever I'd use the grinder or for really fucked up brake jobs involving a lot of brake dust build up. That's the last shit you want to be inhaling besides silica and viruses.

I'd run out of masks quicker than gloves though.

I didn't mention wiping down my card, but I also wipe it down and spritz my wallet with Odo-Ban and let it dry. I spray my doorknobs regularly to with a bleach disinfectant coz my brother comes and goes here and there from time to time. Wet 'em and forget 'em.

May God bless you and yours. No disrespect, but this is BGOL, have you considered dating again? I never thought I would remarry after my divorce but here I am 12 years later. Current wife had breast cancer years ago.
