Mod edit: The video originally linked contains misinformation; see twitter thread below for details
Hi Mods, please don't lock this unless this exact topic already exists.
We're learning more and more about how just how long Corona virus lasts on certain surfaces (many for up to 3 days). Health officials are concerned that it's spreading through food orders and shopping because we haven't had access to necessary information to stay clean.
Please, please, please watch this video.
I know it's scary, I know it's frustrating but it's important. Every single one of you should consider all of these precautions.
Mod edit:
video removed.
**OP EDIT**
the twitter thread above debunks some of his points but make a point to say that he won't point out some of the things that the video got right.
Be careful about packaging and objects that have been recently touched by other humans, especially when ordering food. It doesn't hurt to spray surfaces or move to new plates and containers if there is a risk.
But...
The other stuff is apparently heavily disputed (groceries in garage, washing fruit with soap).
I apologize and I didn't mean to spread any misinformation. I had seen the video being co-signed by health workers and felt it was important to share.
Definitely feeling like a dummy right now.
