The Plague Diaries Day 10: I had a plan that didn't pan out with the Amazon boxes
I had this vision of how I would maintain a completely COVID-free ecosystem.
I have these old school knit gloves. I would pick up the Amazon box, take it inside, retrieve my items and then put the gloves in the washing machine after spraying them down with lysol. Easy.
In theory.
First, I had to get scissors. I open a drawer in the kitchen.
Now there's COVID all over the drawer and all over the scissors.
I rip off the box top and dump out the stuff inside. My bottle of vitamins bounces off a chair and rolls under the table.
Somehow in the next thirty seconds, I touch the inside of my coat, my phone, the table, my earbuds and my keys.
I put my phone in the UV-C sanitizer. Shit. How do you sanitize your sanitizer?
I scoffed just a little bit when I saw this earlier but now I'm on board.
BTW- I mentioned this whole incident to a surgeon and said I had a newfound appreciation for people who are able to keep track of their arms and fingers at all times. He was not impressed.

We need a decontamination station by the front door is all. I saw a picture on Instagram someone posted of a shower curtain hung across a foyer:
