Not terribly surprising, but it suggests that you probably don't need to worry TOO much about things like doorknobs, buttons in elevators, keypads in retailers, etc. |
I've been through more than a gallon Clorox Cleaner w/Bleach since the first week of March because the CDC recommended that everything be sterilized, including any items brought into the home such as groceries, mail, Amazon packages, etc. As of now, it's impossible to find disinfecting wipes and cleaning supplies because of the CDC recommendations and hoarders.
The toilet paper scare was ridiculous as well. Costco has had toilet paper and napkins in stock for the past 10 days, so I grabbed one each of my last two visits and probably have enough in my garage to last a full year. In reality, one Costco 30 pack of TP has lasted us months, so I really had no reason to be concerned, nor did I need to order Charmin on Amazon back in early April.
The WHO and CDC have made many mistakes in the past few months, which is okay since this is the real viral threat the world has faced in the past 100 years, but I hope they've learned from this so that the next time we're challenged by a highly contagious coronavirus, they don't send the public into a hoarding frenzy.
