I applied to NASA last week. Now, other kinds of space are more important. Two weeks ago, I started wearing latex gloves when I went to the grocery store or the post office, but mostly for solidarity with the workers there, all of whom wear gloves, and most of whom wear masks (as of this week, they’re all required to wear gloves and masks). Also, for the safety of elderly folks who have to run their own errands. After going to the post office, I’d even put on a new set of gloves before going to the grocery store, because I didn’t want to cross-pollinate between the handle of the post office and a shopping cart, again for the elderly. Now, it’s more because I don’t want to contaminate the steering wheel between errands, since we’ve still been driving the five minutes to Mariah’s folks’ house. I throw the gloves away at the store after putting the groceries in the car and putting the cart away. Still, I worry about COVID-19’s shelf-life (supermarkets probably prefer the term life-span) on the grocery bags or other food packaging.
