Our senior hours are an additional hour before the store opens.
OK, I've thought about what you said. Younger and older folks have a similar likelihood to carry the virus.
So, my options are to go at 7, with older folks who are more likely to show symptoms if they have the virus. Or, I can go at 9 with younger folks who are less likely to show symptoms if they have the virus.
Isn't there more danger to me and my wife to be among the seniors who are more likely to be showing symptoms?
Seeing you here made my day ... and i had a rough one medically.Whilst traveling to/from/in Asia a few weeks ago (which feels like years ago) I wore a mask on planes and airports just to prevent myself from touching my face with my dirty dirty fingers.
I don't think the danger really changes, but you get to buy stuff before all the hoarders show up. Think that's the senior hours thing.

Lastly your phone also after going into any public place ... wipe it sown.
I'm skeptical the virus remains infectious on surfaces in real world settings for as long as those studies in laboratory settings claim it does but there's no reason not to be safe. The main source of infection is still going to be close contact with infectious individuals like with flu.
It changes in that:
1. the staff has cleaned the store thoroughly after shut down the night before.
2. the staff that shows up hasn't been hanging around the crowded store for hours
3. getting there at the opening of sr hours means a quick trip with no waits, if the shopping list is kept to a minimum.
4. as you said, the shelves are as full as they will be all week.
5. we older folks are generally a bit slower and more gentle with each other
6. at Whole Foods, the paid shoppers aren't into high gear yet, so there are fewer of them rushing around to fill orders (they are paid to be fast, and it changes the feel of the store).
in a lab we know but the elements..we don't. But i went to pump gas today and just fill up and that has to be one of the dirtiest things I never thought about until this.
I work at a hospital and they told us the other day that a mask can potentially help the spread of the virus. They only want people working directly with patients to wear them.
Just out of curiosity. I haven't to this point, but my wife and I were talking tonight and I think the concern level has reached a point where we're considering it when going to the grocery store but I'm curious to hear if others have reached that point yet.
I hold my breathe when walking past people. Girl at doctor told me today a mask will not help someone who is not sick ... touching an infected spot and transferring that to your body is the problem.
I've felt that way for 27 years now without theseit really felt like I was in a movie or some doomsday situation

I will generally agree with you with respect to the CONTENTS of mail and packages.I agree. I don't see the danger in foodstuffs, deliveries, cardboard and mail. But them I am a scientist and have no tendencies toward conspiracies.
