Think about this. If you stay safe, you also help protect your family. My daughter had a baby a little over a month ago. Her doctor recommended that she and her husband remain completely quarantined / isolated for the first month. No visitors in the house, including family. In order for us to go into the house just to hold our new grandson, my wife and I had to quarantine ourselves for at least two weeks. Which we did. Well worth the effort to make sure our kids and new grandson would remain healthy. During this same period, my mother passed away. We couldn't even hold a funeral for her.
When you decide not to follow CDC and WHO recommendations, you affect more than yourself. The life you save may just be someone in your family.

Condolences to you and your family in the loss of your mother.
I don't think the CDC or the WHO ever did include sanitizing groceries in their guidelines. I Googled that and could not find CDC guidelines to sanitize groceries.
When this pandemic started is when I began sanitizing all groceries and packages that came into our home. I did that on the direction of a doctor I saw in a YouTube video. He said it would be a good idea so I did it.
