Washing off the 'vid.

Huh.

That doesn’t strike me as a likely vector, given that most viruses don’t survive on hard surfaces very long. If you’re going to that kind of extreme, you would really need to be setting up an airlock on your house so that you could change and shower before going inside. For people that worked in hospitals with covid-19 patients, where they had very high exposures, that was a real thing that helped reduce spread. But the average person? It’s just not a big enough risk.

FWIW, I had covid-19 once, and it was after I’d gotten my vaccination and booster (very mild case), and that was with pretty basic precautions like washing my hands, not going to indoor gatherings, and wearing a respirator with P-100 filter cartridges whenever I was in public.

At the beginning of the pandemic people didn’t know much about COVID and did whatever they could to keep safe. Especially in high risk households. As better research became available many of the approaches such as wiping down groceries got used less.

Sadly, no it won’t. Because we’ve royally fucked over the planet for ourselves and things like this will only become more common. Not necessarily exactly this picture, but the age of crisis is well upon us and will only get worse from here. Your grandkids will understand because they’re in for much worse.

Lol idiots who did this

My neighbor died. My 34-year-old coworker died. Those early days of COVID were fucking terrifying.

Everyone who did this is fucking stupid, respiratory illness spreads in coughs and sneezes, (aerosolized fluids), not on surfaces.

Before covid some groceries (mostly fruits/vegetables) lasted 1 week or a little more. After that sometimes 2 or more, just today I cut a pineapple that it’s 3 weeks old. I’m going to keep washing them.

And it’s really nice to just open the fridge and just bite the apple w/o needing to wash it (again).

Patches ,

You wash your pineapples with soap and water?

example ,

you sound like you’re not even washing coconuts

peyotecosmico ,

Reading comprehension wasn’t that strong in your elementary school isn’t it?

Woosh

How do you dry things? I’ve tried pre-washing things before to reduce the friction to cooking, but everything always go bad so much faster because of the extra moisture.

peyotecosmico ,

Yes I do dry them with a cloth towel, some things that trap moisture can’t be washed like onions. Bananas for example usually skip them, if they have a small scratch/cut they tend to rot from the filtration tho.

“why not just wipe them with disinfectant wipes?”

“oh, you sweet summer child”

To be fair this is a good idea underdeveloped countries as canned drinks in storage are usually contaminated externally with rat shit.

nxdefiant ,

This is true of warehouses everywhere, not just ones in underdeveloped countries. Developed countries just usually have a higher turnover and distribution closer to production sources, so they sit in storage for less time.

You somehow forgot a whole word. How the fuck does that even happen?

Among many, many other far simpler explanations, it’s pretty common for people with ADHD.
