I made one last trip to the grocery store on Friday. Wiped the handle and bottom of the cart, but I'm just crossing my fingers that the items I bought were safe. Included lots of individual fruits, so not really feasible to sterilize. I'm in Texas, so hopefully it wasn't prevalent enough yet. Not sure what I'll do when I have to make another trip in a couple weeks if we're still in quarantine.

Maybe we can develop good ideas? What about these ideas:
* Vitamin/mineral pills
* fruit juice / pureed fruit/vegetables (for secondary plant substances)
* Visiting the grocery store when few customers are there
* Apply cream to your hands. I always wash my hands often. They can become dry and tiny wounds occur. If lemon juice hurts your hands then it's bad. Germs can get into the tiny wounds.
* Additionally, wear plastic gloves.

This is becoming hard with a lot of grocery stores reducing their hours now. Our local store is only open 8-8 vs 24hours normally; I'd love to go around 10 or 11pm like we normally do.
