Does anyone else worry about the container of alcohol wipes being contaminated itself? How do y'all deal with contamination fears in the COVID era? Ive never had these fears before a month ago and they're centered around groceries being contaminated. Even though I have read everywhere that it's an unlikely mode of transmission, I'm gripped by fear when I touch groceries at home. I find wiping them down triggering because I do it over and over again until it feels right. Anyone have any guidance?

I’m facing the same issues. I had to stop cleaning them otherwise I’d spend forever on each item. So I have my husband clean them. I would sit and watch him to make sure he did it “right” but eventually I just had to tell myself that he’s going to do his best and be ok with the uncertainty of not knowing if it’s cleaned “right” or if my family will get Covid from it. So now I don’t watch him when he cleans them and I don’t clean them and just live with uncertainty. So far we haven’t gotten sick.

Probably not supposed to say, bc it’s reassurance, but it’s literally so unlikely to catch covid from surfaces. It would have to be a super particular situation where a very sick person touched the thing, deposited a large viral load, and you touched the thing and then your face within a couple hours. If y’all are like me, we’re washing or sanitizing our hands enough and taking every precaution. It’s very unlikely to get covid from surfaces

The thing about doing it until it feels right is the more you do it, the less right it feels. At least for me. What I try to tell myself when I'm stuck in a loop of cleaning repeatedly

All the time
