I am operating under the assumption EVERYONE has the virus and am cleaning most things I touch, am very careful how I touch them, and wash/sanitize my hands (usually only one hand touches a public object/surface) before touching anything. My wife works from home. We have our groceries delivered. Leave mail and packages on a "decontamination cart" in the garage for 2-3 days. And we only really travel to and from my parent's house. I've been to a grocery store once in the last 60 days. We wear masks when outside in public areas.

I consider our strategy fairly extreme, but we want (especially our children) to be part of the 20-40% of the population that does not get infected over the next 12-18 months. I don't pretend that everyone in the country has the luxury to stay home, or desire to frankly, and don't expect everyone to do what we are doing. People can live their lives the way they see fit. We cancelled a Mother's Day BBQ because my Mom went to a restaurant. Told her, "see you in 14 days." Meanwhile our neighbors across the street had 20-30 people over. Did we call in a complaint or get pissed? No, that's there right.
