Same... we'd wipe down our groceries, and anything delivered by mail or UPS would sit on our back porch for a few days before we'd bring it in the house. Was it necessary? Probably not, but our house never got sick - at least not until 2023. So for the next pandemic I won't mind being overly cautious again.

    Yeah I remember it was months in before studies started coming out that it didn't spread via surfaces. I distinctly remember thinking "shit what am I supposed to do with all these Clorox wipes??"

    I wish that message had gotten around a little faster. By summer or fall of 2020, we had a pretty good idea that covid didn't live well on surfaces, but we still had people gobbling up isopropyl alcohol and causing a shortage. Worse, a few companies made hand sanitizer with methanol as a cheap way to keep up with demand.
