I made a cheese sandwich yesterday but didn't do any of that.
Am I doomed?
I'm cleaning foods etc when the delivery arrives but then act as normal.

It's probably because of overly clinical homes that has added to the death rate.

I would never think of wearing gloves for food prep. Wash hands, wipe surfaces, fridge door etc with hot soapy water before you start or when you come in from elsewhere. Surely that is enough.
Of course toasting the sandwich would kill viruses and taste better! grin Better luck with the plate next time.

I think I would give up eating if I had to go through all of that rigmarole! Once the shopping is brought into the house, it is wiped down with the antibacterial wipes and that is it. No gloves worn in my own kitchen. Am I doing it wrong?

confusedconfused?

Why would you wear gloves for food prep in your own kitchen? If your hands have been washed, the utensils through the dishwasher and the bread bin lid / fridge door wiped as usual -why the rigmarole?
I had nearly 20 years of living with DH after his transplant who was immune suppressed and at no time did I even go near your way of thinking.

If you wiped down the packaging either with soapy or lightly bleach in water, you could leave off the gloves. Or leave the products for up to 3 days.
Can’t help you with the plate though, that’s a shame.

In order to make a cheese sandwich I have to:
1) put on gloves to pick up loaf of bread, open bag.
2) take off gloves, take out 2 slices without touching outside of bag.
3) put on gloves, seal up bag.
4) take off gloves, lift up lid of bread bin.
5) put on gloves, put bread in bread bin.
6) take off gloves, put lid back on bread bin.
7) put on gloves, take butter out of fridge, take lid off butter.
8) take off gloves, get knife scrape off some butter, tub slides all over the place, put on glove to hold tub. Take off glove, put butter on bread.
9) put on gloves. take cheese out of fridge and open packet. Shake packet till cheese slides out and lands on floor. Get new packet of cheese, shake out onto plate.
10) take off gloves, slice cheese, put on bread. Cut sandwich.
11) put on glove, hold cheese packet with gloved hand, slide in cheese with other.
12) put on other glove, fold over cheese wrapping.
13) take off gloves, open fridge door.
14) put on gloves, pick up cheese and butter, put in fridge.
15) take off gloves, shut fridge door.
Turn around and knock plate on to floor where it shatters in to pieces, just like my mind!
