Plastic QVC Bags

beach-mom · ‎03-09-2010

You know the bags we get some fashion items in, as well as other items periodically - I'm "quarantining" them for 3 days. I used to keep them until trying the items on. Now I'm tossing them as soon as I can. Anyone else taking precautions like this?

Yes, I’m quarantining all plastic bags for at least three days and paper for at least one day. Delivered groceries arrive in plastic, as does the newspaper. Yes, that is a nuisance, but, there is no point in staying at home but then letting the virus come in anyway.

Hang in there, everyone. The more scrupulously we take the orders, the sooner we will see light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe we can have a tiny celebration on the Fourth of July.🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸

No, everyone is over-reacting Just wash your hands with soap and water after you open it..

I also wait to pick up my mail until the day after it is delivered to be safe. They have had postal letter carriers infected in our area. My husband has a background in lab safety practices and he recommended that we do that. Even Dr Gupta on CNN has done a video on how to “wash” your groceries before you put them away.

I get rid of stuff immediately then scrub down immediately after dealing with it.

Hubby came back from shopping early this morning, I wipe down everything and spray the reusable bags

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

There was another Dr on You Tube I hope the CNN was more practical....The You Tube guy talked about leaving your groceries outside for awhile and then bringing them in and wiping them down....Its in the 80's here and we almost hit 90...no way am I leaving groceries outside....he was in a northern state that still had snow.... LOL....

But I do agree with him about washing fresh fruits and veggies thoroughly.......And I did wipe down some stuff on the outside and threw those plastic bags away and washed my hands and cloraxed all surfaces...

we cant use reusable bags...has to be those flimsy white grocery bags that can be thrown away....too much possibility of cantamination and spread of virus if people brought reusable bags from home and uncertain people would wash them or wipe them down..

"Quarantining" things in a cardboard box ....they said the virus could last 3 days on that.... I just wiped down the QVC plastic bags....
