(Opinion ~ 04/24/20)

When you pump gas, wipe the handle and when you get your money back that someone has handled, wipe it off or throw away your gloves. When you use your credit card anywhere, even if you use the slide in slots wipe it off before putting it back where you keep it.

Keep disinfectant wipes in your vehicles, so that they will be handy to use. Everywhere we go others have some way come in contact with us in so many different ways.
