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. i get it….used clothes. However, some of this is overkill. Gift baskets and greeting cards? Please. this is why folks are paranoid and walking in fear. Wash your hands regularly and sanitize/disinfect your belongings. That will take care of things.

  2. Does all this make no difference if we are vaccinated for the virus? Can we then do everything we used to do without fear of getting sick?

  3. This is a hoot…I haven’t changed my life at all since the “pandemic”…I don’t avoid these now and don’t plan to do so either.

  4. Not like the virus can live so long on something that you can’t just set it aside somewhere and then tend to it in a few hours or days. There is still so much in terms of supplies that we will need take in our homes for our mere survival. Just deal with it all appropriately and wash your hands!
