I think this is an important second thread on the situation. The intent is to share ideas so we as individuals and groups can move forward aggressively on containing the virus.
Im a single person so I have its fairly easy although it is still life altering.
Ive developed 2 Walls of disinfection.
1 is my door step where I have a foot bath with bleach.
The other is my truck.
In My truck I carry a thermos of hot soapy water with a bit of bleach.
I have to go out occasionally for groceries and work. When I park at my destination I wash my hands in my truck with the hot soapy water and get out. I take the rag with me. I shop, I keep my distance from others. I don't touch my face. Basically I treat myself as if I was infected only touching stuff that I will buy.
I pack my stuff and put it in the back of my truck.
I rub my hand in the soapy towel and open my truck door and get in. Then I wash my hand again and touch nothing. I wash my keys too. Then I close the truck door.
When I arrive at home I get out of the truck and wash the outside surface I may have touched before.
In my home I have an area ready for the groceries. Surfaces are free of any items and disinfected. I place my groceries, considered infected and have hot soapy water with a bit of bleach and I wet wipe it all down, what I can anyways, and place them in a preciously disinfected surface. When I am done I throw the bags outside to wash them out there. Then I disinfect the area in the back the truck.
Im not sure how to handle things like leafy greens but Im working on it.
I use the foot bath when going in and out of my front door.
I know that some here may think this is over the top but I am doing it not because I am scared to death but to instal confidence that I am doing my part. In all honesty I am hesitant to post this for I have seen already a lot of public shaming on both ends of the issue via social media.
This is not a time for devision among Canadians it is at time for unity.
Socially isolate, reach out to friends family and others and see if they are ok. Help a neighbour. Share your ideas to assist in all aspects of our society during this difficult time.
On a positive note I do see some good coming of this. We as a country finally have an issue that we can all stand up for as one united country.
I'm very interested to hear what others are doing.
