Episode 193: The Coronavirus/COVID - 19 How To Stay Safe: Best Practices

How do we keep ourselves safe? Given that this virus can live on hard surfaces for a week to 10 days, what are the best ways to protect ourselves?

Here are some of the considerations and things you may or may not have been thinking about.
