Thou shalt wash thy hands every time you come home from shopping! It's
not paranoid to keep a container of hand disinfectant in the car and
clean the steering wheel from time to time... Doorknobs and telephones
at work get cleaned nightly.

Keyboards are also filthy. I read somewhere they were as germy as the toilet
seats in some office building that was tested.

We normally get
90-100 days growing season. These frosts are trashing everyone's gardens.
And I'm worried as hell about the price of fuel trashing the national
food distribution system. Alaska has two days worth of food on our
grocery store shelves.

Buy a canner like I just did. Start canning your own veggies as we will be
doing from now on.

Every Actual Alaskan(tm) owns a boiling bath canner and a pressure
canner. I'm canning red (sockeye) salmon tonight. And we all have root
cellars.

lol Anything hands touch...

This is why those rubber "keyboard condoms" are such a good idea.
Those can be washed in hot water and soap in a sink. We use them at
work around the chemistry machines to keep accidental blood spills out
of the keyboards.

Money is also one of the most germy things around. Too bad we stopped
using silver for coinage. Silver has antibacterial activity.

Good idea.

Or drying or freezing.

Alaska usually has plenty of ice. g

Mom canned a batch of razor clams that we caught when we visited alaska.
Mom was adept with a pressure cooker over a campfire. :-)
She also canned the one large salmon dad caught.
