A coronavirus danger: Touching your face. Here is how to stop doing it

Yes, touching your face gives the virus many opportunities. More importantly wash your hands, for at least 20 seconds, turn off the faucet with the same paper towel and cover the door handle then toss it. They have discovered the tiny droplets in a cough or sneeze can travel as far as 25'. I think it is unclear as to how long this virus can live outside a host so I suggest wearing gloves at the market, especially in produce.

I'm not sure who 'they' are but the best evidence which was echoed by a doctor was 3-6 feet at least for coronavirus with no breeze. Here's just one of many many references to that 3-6 feet distance. Surfaces? Sneezes? Sex? How the Coronavirus Can and Cannot Spread

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Personally, until this all blows over I'm staying as far away from myself as I can.
That should be easy enough.

I'm usually two steps forward, and one step back.

Er..... Or was that the other way around?

I clean behind my finger nails when I wash my hands.
