      I'm a food microbiologist. Would you like me to give you advice on how to care for your sick kids? I don't think so. Don't take food safety or microbiology advice from MDs that don't understand food, science or very much about microbiology. (3/33)

      There are a few things that he gets right, but I'm not going to focus on those. I'm going to spend my time here focusing on the things that he gets partly or completely wrong. (4/33)

      He completely misrepresented the 17 days figure from CDC. This was based on finding viral RNA, not infectious viral particles. The CDC report also does not give the methods used but cites personal communication... impossible to peer review. (5/33)

      Should I keep my groceries in the garage or on the porch for 3 days? This is patently ridiculous. Are you really going to keep your milk, your ice cream, your deli meats outside for three days? (6/33)

      This also has very important food safety implications. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, or at the very least spoiled food. (7/33)

      There is a tiny nugget of truth in this advice, because we know that the virus is slowly inactivated at room temperature, with a half-life of about eight hours. (8/33)

      But this advice presumes that all groceries are contaminated, and the simply touching the groceries will make you sick, neither of which are true. (9/33)

      Do I really need to disinfect all of the individual boxes & baggies everything came in? I also think that this is also advice that does not make scientific sense. (10/33)

      If you are concerned about the outside of food packages being contaminated, I suggest that you wash your hands and or sanitize your hands before you sit down to eat any food that you might've taken out of those containers. (11/33)

      Yeah, except you need to touch the food container to take the food out of it, which transfers the virus into your just washed hands. There's nothing wrong with wiping down all containers with 75% alcohol, it's harmless and good precaution. Use bleech spray bottle for shopping bag

      Open container, wash hands, take out food without touching the outside of the container. Or alternatively, cook it. Or maybe just avoid raw veg right now if you're really worried.

          Ha ha, open container, wash hands, then scoop out food without touching container! Your answer is an illustration of how it is just much easier to wash items before bringing them in the house.

          As someone who was already washing my hands obsessively to deal with allergies, it’s not that hard and I find it much easier than having to sterilize packages. Naturally this applies to food that you’re eating right out of the container.
