Your goal is to get to the store, buy sour cream and come back to your computer, SARS-CoV-2 free.<p>Move 1: You open the door, it's contaminated, SARS-CoV-2 is on your right hand now.<p>Move 2: You take the sour cream, it just spread to the sour cream jar.<p>Move 3: You reach the pocket for wallet, now it's on your wallet too.<p>Move 4: You take the credit card, boom, your card.<p>Move 5: You come home, take out the keys, unlock and enter.<p>Move 6: Your move!<p>Bonus points:
- add bananas to your purchase
- add fresh bread to your purchase<p>Bonus question: What today's tech could help prevent the spread? (ex. automatic doors would stop this in Move 1, assuming nothing else in the store is contaminated)
It's impossible to reduce your risk to zero. Everyone will eventually be exposed to the virus, and when it happens to you, there's some probability that your immune system won't catch it right away and you'll get sick.<p>The point of hygiene precautions is just to slow the spread. That will avoid everyone geting sick at the same time and overwhelming the health care system. A vaccine or better supportive treatments may arrive in the meantime.<p>You should also stay generally healthy.
