Take-out containers

You might want to refrain yourself from opening takeout containers in your kitchen, next time you order something from your favorite spot. According to Patel, they are not major sources of transmission but “plastic bags and food storage containers… come in contact with many people”. If any of the restaurant staff have the virus, they could pass it on to you via the containers or silverware packs. The coronavirus can stay on plastic surfaces for up to seven days, so, you definitely don’t want plastic takeout containers something in your house!

Greeting cards

You might be tempted to send someone you haven’t seen in awhile a nice greeting card to show you’re thinking of them. Or receive one yourself from your friends or family. But before you accept it into your home, you should know that the coronavirus can survive on paper for three hours. Instead of choosing the traditional greeting cards, save the plane, your friends, family and yourself and use e-cards, text messages, or Skype calls.

  1. It’s quite clear from some of these comments that the pandemic has taught people very little about hygiene. There’s no need to wonder why it is an over yet.

  2. What’s the difference – used items or new items that have been touched by others? Get your groceries delivered? Well, someone had to pick them up and get them ready and then bring them to you! Do you sterilize them before you touch them or let them into your home?

  3. I can understand that there is MUCH that is unknown about the viruxs. What I don,t understand are the people who make “absolute” statements indicating that THEY DO!
    I just read a study by THE United Nations “World Health Organization”, which consists of leading scientists worldwide, that presents newer facts that contradict MANY of the assertions that HAVE BEEN MADE!
    For just ONE example, the WHO’s data documents that the immediate personal “safety zone” is “12 FEET, 10 INCHES!” NOT 6 FEET!
    TAKE YOUR PICK IF YOU WANT… IT’S YOUR LIFE. (IF YOU BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE…..)

  4. very shortsighted. most of these changes are for the better.
    the only thing we will be proud to leave behind is called Trump.
