Every time you take your shoes on and off. The contactlessly delivered food that was set in front of your door that you think is safe. Wheeled luggage and strollers and wheelchairs that are moved into "clean" areas without proper sanitization

Yet another reasons that shoes must come off when entering one's home. Now add to that, wash and sanitize hands after putting shoes on or taking them off. Might not hurt to sanitize the soles of said shoes as well. Likely need to think about strategies after shopping.

I am hopeful air quality will become a focus of society after SARS-CoV-2. Indoor air quality needs to be addressed with innovation. Air quality is a human right. This huge drop in N02 production from cars and industry will be a benefit I hope everyone demands after this.
