I don’t open packages until they go untouched for 24 hours Yesterday, an Amazon worker knocked on my door and offered me the package of all-purpose cleaner I had purchased. I wasn’t wearing my cotton mask (made from an old polo shirt) and he wasn’t either. He handed me the package and I closed the door quickly to minimize our contact on that rainy Monday, placed the package down for its requisite 24 hours (the coronavirus survives on cardboard for just 24 hours, so I allow packages to lie for that time before opening them, just to be safe). I quickly ran over to the sink, turned on the faucet with my elbow, and washed my hands for twenty seconds making sure to get to every part of my hand thoroughly. I think I wondered if the worker was infected and if I was going to get infected and what that would all mean. I was concerned with protecting myself and my family, and it seemed so counterintuitive to my instinct to welcome and love everyone. How will I learn to hug again?
