Yikes. Say you buy a box of cereal from the store... is there any good way to disinfect it, or just let it sit in the garage for a few days?
The best appears to be copper, which is 4 hours[1] which is why I bought some copper tape online and wrapped shared touch surfaces in my apartment with it (though be careful to avoid getting cuts when you grip it).

1. Opening cereal/cracker/other boxes with gloves on, taking out the bag inside the box, and recycling the box. I figure the interior bag hasn't been touched in days, typically, if it was ever touched by human hands.
2. For other things, like bread, I've been moving the bread into clean ziploc bags.
3. Washing things like Apples and plastic milk jugs with soap and water.
Feels pretty paranoid but seems to make sense right now.

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.
