Very true. Lysol and gloves don't work for preventing the spread of the virus if all you do is keep cross-contaminating everything you touch with bare, unwashed hands. But washing your hands after opening the cardboard boxes and before touching the bag is a much better practice.So the point isn’t necessarily to Lysol the boxes, it’s to protect yourself while touching things and keep your hands away from your face. The idea behind everything basically is don’t touch your face; that’s how we get it from items we touch. (Otherwise, we get from air-born through water vapour in breath/air when sick people cough/exhale/sneeze). We often transmit from our own hands to our mouth/nose/eyes or to other things we touch. That’s the most dangerous thing to look out for- it’s what we touch and not washing our hands right after. Even gloves are just an added barrier: the objective is while you’re in public/touching things, your hands are your enemy. So, gloves or not, keep hands away from face, open items, wipe down canvas items with soapy towel or leave items for two weeks. Wash hands when done handling everything and you’re good.
But I guess at the end of the day, do what you want to do to ease your anxiety.
