Have you heard any word on contraction methods? Who got it from whom or from what. Any scenarios

I would like to see a pedigree

Read this and it makes sense...

Corona virus

A friend of mine in RI said a friend of hers who works in health care was called into an emergency meeting at the hospital & was told that a lot of patients with the virus were getting it from gas pumps . The recommendation was to wear gloves or hold a paper towel when U pump gas & to throw them away b4 U get home.

Anything we touch is potential carrier

Good point - it lives on hard surfaces much longer than you would think.  I recommend you carry disinfecting wipes with you to use after touching public things.  Even a can of Lysol will help- spray it on your hands.  I know these things are hard to find now, but look around your house - you may have some laying aroud.  You can also wear plastic gloves, but make sure you throw them out after you use them.  Or stop somewhere as soon as you can and wash your hands.  Buttons - like on the ATM machines, elevators, in the grocery store when you pay with a card - germs galore.  

Still the best way to keep from contracting the virus is to stay home.  And wash your hands.  When you go out in public, lots of stores are now offering santizer to clean your cart.

Visited Costco in Montgomery this afternoon. Entry physically controlled by stacked empty palates, only option to get a cart is one that has been wiped down by an associate. Store was sparsely populated with customers so keeping six feet separation was easy. Upon checkout the associates were gloved for their protection. Unlike before, you didn't hand your Costco card to the checker; you show it to them and they scan the bar code. After scanning everything and paying using the card machine the checker asks the customer to take the receipt off the machine. Upon departing the store the checker doesn't take the receipt but views it and the basket of goods and says "thanks for shopping at Costco". 

Someone put a lot of thought into their operation and I applaud the resultant shopping experience.  Good on you Costco (in spite of your politics, lol)!!

I was there last week, and will go again tomorrow.  I thought their operation seemed very logical.  And they posted their shortages at the front door so you don't go in if they don't have what you need.
