If you have no one vulnerable at home do you still wipe down all your shopping

When you bring it home?

I have been doing this but I forgot last night after getting something at local tesco, now I'm terrified I've brought the virus home

@AmNot - You understand that just because there is no evidence CV is spread through food or food packaging it doesn't mean that it can't / doesn't happen?

The point SnakesandKnives makes is the most important one - everyone needs to ask themselves whether their level of fear is appropriate and whether they are at risk of damaging their mental health.
But even Snakes is trying to over-exaggerate her point by saying 'washing' rather than 'wiping' your shopping (washing sounds like a much bigger deal than a quick wipe over).

I'm in the my "it's no big deal and better safe than sorry" brigade. It takes 5 mins. I'm not living in a horrible, terrible state of fear. I go out, I meet a friend. I visit shops if I have to.

Everyone has to find their own comfortable level of risk for them.
FWIW I used to work in food industry/ retail and I guess I've always been aware of cleanliness around food.

My decision to wipe down groceries is just as valid as your decision not to.

I didn't say it wasn't. But if you're washing/wiping down shopping due to fear of CV when you wouldn't normally do it and there's no evidence to suggest you need to, many will question why.

It's your choice of course.

No, I wouldn’t normally wipe it down... but hang on, wait, there isn’t normally a global pandemic is there?

Personally, in this pandemic (unlike with norovirus), I need more than a statistical unlikelihood that there won't be viable virus left on a particular surface to feel comfortable bringing it into the house without giving it a quick clean. Given what the public health messages are about cleaning hands and surfaces in general, I don't share some people's confidence that food packaging is a special exception, even though it too could potentially have had infectious droplets coughed all over it only a short while before coming into my hands. I can see that's fine for lots of people and that's great for them, I wouldn't try to persuade them otherwise. I am a bit concerned that the assertion that shopping doesn't need cleaning because surfaces just don't matter for transmission full stop could lead to people being more generally careless when out and about and not bothering to wash their hands though.
