Hi,

Another daft question (sorry).

Just reading an e-mail we got from the Chief Exec of Sainsbury’s and one of the things he is asking is where possible not to use money and this got me thinking (always dangerous) that if the virus sticks to money, does it stick to all paper? So mail delivered, newspapers delivered, paper bags containing meds from the chemist that are dropped off at the door, cardboard boxes housing internet orders. If so then locking ourselves away for 12 weeks isn’t foolproof.

As I said possibly a daft question and I’m letting my imagination get the better of me.

Take care 🙂

I'm leaving my post for 48 hrs before I open it. I was going to be 24hrs but then I have to add another 24 hrs on for laziness!!!

Thank you all. Another thing to add to the list of ‘precautionary measures’. Going to have to make a list, my foggy brain is getting overloaded. Take care everyone 🙂

Turn disposable gloves' inside out' before binning - and don't touch the potentially contaminated outside of the glove. Then wash your hands.

Oops, I should have read more before replying. Sorry to have repeated what you already pointed out.

But generally when you take off those types of gloves you grab at the very top edge and pull them off in a fashion that has them inside out when you toss them in your receptacle. Then there’s no need to touch anything infected?

Thank you.
