(4,385 posts)routine of household indoor chores like laundry, bathrooms, dusting/mopping, etc.. and stayed home. Not too different from the usual. Few visited except trusted family.

The community pond blows the dirty, God knows what's in it, storm sewer pond water around via an aerator 3 seasons a year. I've always wiped down can goods before prepping/cooking meals.
If you went "out" you immediately washed mask and hands on return. DH had one confirmed scare at work where they'd taken compliant precautions and shut down 10 days w/pay. I think I've only twice disinfected packages, spraying disinfectant on a delivery service box I knew came from a hot spot and the nylon-cloth handles of the insulated bags left at the door during the peak of a wave here.
GQP DeJoy pretty much took care of possible "infection by mail" pre-late/no delivery, LOL; we compliantly voted early in-person without problems.
I had previously taken advantage of subscriptions for TP and had joined a local, farm raised/organic fresh groceries delivery site - YUM, while also tried to keep our favorite local restaurants alive by ordering in (most all instituted compliant pick-up precautions) about 3 days a week, both reducing our time wandering around the big box grocery stores.
Got vaccines (flu and CoVid) walk-in and as soon as eligible and was fortunate to find appointments just a bit out of the way when our county seemed to have little to no supply, so feel much more confident it won't kill us. Still compliantly masking and distancing, but not much worrying about surfaces or smooching DH.
