Even if they open up the economy, we, seniors, don’t have to be afraid. We just have to remember how this virus works. I look at the virus as if it was a dust particle, it is not alive. The only way that it can hurt you is by getting inside your mouth, nose or eyes (as far as we know). So if you keep your hands clean, and soap is a great disinfectant, keep clothes and all surfaces clean and disinfected, then as soon as we are allowed to get them, wear the n95 mask and clear glasses, gloves or wash hands often - hubby literally walks around with disinfectant wipes he makes at home and carries in a zip lock bag. I can’t see how this virus can get to you. If worried about soles of shoes take off as soon as you can and wash them with soapy water.

I wash everything that comes in the house so that I don’t have to keep washing my hands after touching them. So I’ve never been this clean before, or my clothes and you need a magnifying glass to find a speck of dirt in my bathrooms. But it doesn’t take me that long, about 30 minutes a day of cleaning and hopefully they will have a vaccine for us in the near future.
