I have a pair of form fitting safety glasses that I wear to the store under a hoodie. Also wear a homemade face mask. Great social distancing tool. LoL no one comes near me.

This is one piece of advice I’m sure to ignore. I categorize it as a minuscule risk.

As long as you wash your hands before putting them in our out you should be fine. Doesn't everyone do that anyway?? I have been wearing contacts for almost 32 years now. I do have dailies.

I wonder how many severe under 50 infections could be correlated to contact lens and vaping?

I will say that working from home full time now is saving me on contact lenses. I usually wear contacts when working in the office or when we go out. With restaurants and movie theaters closed and not going in to the office, I haven't worn contacts in a long time. I just ordered another 90 day supply over a week ago and haven't even opened the boxes yet. DW wears contacts every day, even at home.

Once the seriousness of COVID-19 was known on/about 3/12, I stopped wearing my contacts. It is just common sense.
