I try to follow a routine of not touching my face when I am in a store or hitting the ATM or something like that. You may screw up and do it otherwise but that is not the time to do it. Then if I can discipline myself to do that then I can use hand sanitizer or a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in the car to kill anything that may be on my hands from being in the store. I am sure it helps and I am sure it is not perfect as well. All we can do is improve the odds. I dont do somethings yet because the virus is not in my immediate area so I am sort of "practicing." If it were here and I was making a run to the store, I would hit the car door handle with some sanitizer spray too if you think you deposited anything there after- for example- using the ATM. Could be obsessive. Could be just right. Whatever. Everyone has to work out what's right for them. As I said, I am more in foreplay mode right now and will ramp it up or down depending how things go.
You see people with latex gloves and masks etc but that is a mixed bag. Unless you know what you are doing those just become breeding grounds for the virus unless you are sanitizing them as well at key junctures. I have seen quite a few articles that point out how wearing masks without a disciplined routine makes things much worse because it causes the person to constantly be touching their face as they adjust the mask over and over and over again.
