(Originally posted to my GoFundMe, and backdated to the date of that original post. This is basically copied verbatim, including the fundraising stuff at the end; I *was* posting to GoFundMe after all. Feel free to ignore those bits if you want. Link to the fundraiser will be provided in the comments and upon request.)
I now estimate that for the next while, I'll probably be posting one or two per week of these non-photo posts that combine the now-familiar begging with one or more links to articles/videos/blog posts related to COVID-19 that I find useful. It's time for the next installment in that series. Today's link is to a video about how to do Safe Grocery Shopping, or more specifically, how to maximize the safety of your groceries after you've gotten them home. As the virus spreads, it's going to become more and more important to limit your exposure to surfaces that have an increasing probability of harboring the virus, which means disinfecting every surface you can (glass, metal, sufficiently sturdy plastic and waxed cardboard, some produce) and for the rest, either quarantining the questionable surface or getting rid of it entirely. The video assumes that people may not have enough space to do the quarantine, and thus concentrates on disinfecting and other safe handling. Here's the link:

Following the PSA portion of this post comes the usual begging stuff. As you may expect, in addition to the usual plea for help for ourselves, I'm going to ask those of you who can to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES that are still open. Help keep your local economy a little bit more afloat, as and if you can. For example, my parents are taking part in this by getting takeout for dinner tonight. And remember that once the worst of this has passed, locally owned businesses will be struggling to get back on their feet, so please be ready to patronize them as much as you can when it's time for them to reopen.
( Rest of the begging section is behind the cut. )
