my wife had an autoimmune reaction to meds that knocked her out before a surgical procedure that lasted well over a year....this is one of the most frustrating things that we'd ever had to deal with....there's no apparent fix or treatment

no question that there are folks out there taking advantage of the situation by selfishly jacking up prices because they can....it'll turn around eventually

to the OP, I would suggest that you try to cover those areas with something (plastic table cloth??) that the disinfectants you have might not be appropriate for

It sounds like you're already diligent about keeping things clean inside your home....so the biggest risk is someone carrying covid-19 into the house

when I bring groceries into the house now I'm leaving the can goods, things in boxes, non-perishables in plastic on a table in the garage for a few days....just in case any covid-19 virus were on them

the fresh veggies I wash with soap and water and put away

the meats I immediately repackage and vacuum seal

then I thoroughly disinfect the counter area and wash my hands

Another thought might be to have whomever is going out of the house to shop for food to go through a makeshift "clean room" in the garage or laundry room before entering the home itself....leaving all shoes and clothing that was worn while outside and changing into 'clean' garments before entering the home.

sounds like a lot to do, but it may give you additional peace of mind

good luck
