When you go out right now when you come home do you immediately strip, put your clothes in the washer and take a shower?

Absolutely! Cleanliness is of major importance right now.
I wash my hands that's it
Nah! I wash my hands if I think about it.
Virus schmirus! Who cares.

Those of us who live in apartment buildings have to think about what is all over the insides and outsides of the washers and dryers in the laundry room.

I have set up a "door station" in my tiny apartment.

I have a coat hook that hangs over the door, so I can take off my jacket and hang it there.

I have a chair right next to the door, and a copper plate next to it on the floor and vinyl gloves on top of the nearby air purifier. I can step onto the copper plate FROM the doorway with my contaminated shoes, and sit down in the chair, and remove my shoes. (The virus dies on copper within 4 hours).

When I am safe to go out again, I will leave a paper bag next to the chair and put the clothing I wore outside in the bag. THEN I will be able to remove the vinyl gloves I wore outside, and throw them away. Paper doesn't retain virus as long as plastic.

For now, I am doing laundry inside my apartment, by hand. I have a very small washtub, and I have Lysol laundry sanitizer.

@Stereoguy I have probably HAD the virus. I got very sick in early March...but got better very quickly. I am self quarantining for 30 days based on worst case scenario...that I could still have it.

I have to worry about my cat walking through virus on the floors and tracking it everywhere.

I have a friend with terminal cancer. My son has asthma, and there are several people in my building with diabetes and serious health conditions.

So yes...I do take it very seriously.
