@MoJoV  One of the doctors on a major network said she leaves her mail in the mailbox for 24 hours and then retreives it. So, that's what we do. We don't get much mail, and we have signed for USPS informed delivery, so we get an email each day with images of the mail and packages we will get that day. If we get packages, we bring them in and wash our hands before and after opening the packages.

I utilize INFORMED DELIVERY that I signed up for from the USPS website....if I see that its just junk mail I wait a few days before I retrieve it and toss it out......  I wipe down the mailbox and when I get home wipe the doorknob and wash my hands.....I did get packages delivered to my door and wiped them both off and let them sit a day before opening them...

Not one single thing different.

I always take my name and address off all junk mail before tossing it.

Same as always, I just wash my hands more. People can do what they want, but I can't make my anxiety even worse by going to what would be extremes for me. I could wrap myself in bubble wrap and avoid touching anything, but I'm not going to do that. Can't live in fear of every little object and action.

I'm doing lots of hand washing and social distancing and avoiding touching my face.

I have been going through a lot of handsoap but have always had a weakness for buying it even when I don’t need it; now I have quite a stash and it finally has paid off!

I don't do anything different then I normally do. Go out to the mailbox open it and take out the mail. Sort what can be recycled, shredded after being read, etc. pay bills on line (have been doing that for years, nothing new there). Wash my hands and have a cup of coffee.

Nothing different. Get the mail sort it and wash my hands.  I have seen people on tv getting a package bring it in the garage, spray it with lysol, take out whats inside step on the box to flatten it and leave it in the garage.  I read somewhere if you do that to make sure you disinfect your shoes before coming in the house.  I remember Bath &Body stopped selling antibacterial soap because not building up your immune system.

Usually gloves and let it sit in the sink in the utility room for a few days.

Why would we do anything different? We're home; we can wash our hands.
