All sorts of dumb shit happened in North America. A favourite of mine was people leaving their mail in the mailbox a few days so to ensure the germs died before picking it up?

My favorite was all the bullshit companies pulled "because covid".

Like "sorry our phone representative wait time is longer, it's because covid". Like what?

Or grocery stores closing all doors except one, thereby forcing all their customers into the same narrow space lol

At the very beginning I woke up one morning and could not use my right hand, the tendons were so painful. I've had a lot of trouble with my hands, but they had been better, so I was pretty concerned, until I got ready to go out and realized that I had gained a habit of death gripping the small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol I'd been keeping in my right hand jacket pocket. I'd been spraying everything (outside my house) before I touched it, like door handles and such, but just clinging to the bottle for dear life even when not in use.

I feel you, at the beginning we weren't sure how the virus was traveling. I'd wash my hands so many times the skin ended up drying.
