Owning a car might be the only way to shop and not get coronavirus

Why? I don't think public transportation is going to be very desirable for the next 2 to 5 years here in the U.S. I think you will see people buying cars in huge numbers even in cities in order to make a desperate attempt to stay well while shopping for food.

The other way might be to have your food delivered to the door through various food services and then wipe them all off or wash all the food that comes to you as well as all packaging. Why?

Because coronavirus can live on plastic for 3 days, metal for 2 days and paper for one day.

It's unknown if people are being infected this way but as a precaution for example I bring my mail in from the mailbox and then let it sit while I wash my hands and then I don't touch my mail for 24 hours as a precaution. It's even more extreme if you bring home any plastic packaging that anything is wrapped in because coronavirus can live on plastic for up to 3 days time. So, wiping down any plastic might be even more important than waiting to read your mail for 24 hours after you pick it up.

I had a sort of humorous conversation (sort of) about how he couldn't pick his nose or bite his nails or he realized he could die just touching his face or picking his nose or touching his eyes or biting his nails. Though it might seem funny it's true under some situations doing any of these things might eventually kill you in the right situations.

So, it isn't just people sneezing on wooden railings or metal railings you might need to touch, especially if you are over 40 or 50 for balance, it's also anything plastic or metal or paper you touch that comes into your home from the outside too. Boxes are paper by the way too that Amazon and others deliver to your front door.

Another way to avoid public transportation of Subways and light rails and Uber and all the rest is to ride a bicycle if it is not raining. This might be one solution for people young enough and strong enough to do this. But, even then in the rain you could catch just a cold or flu and still die of that too. So, this is something to think about too.
