Wear gloves because you're touching merch, cards, and money from everyone and sharing it to everyone. Wear a mask for yourself and to keep enough well staff to keep the stores open....
You can't expect test kits for a new disease as it's already widespread. You know if you're sick with flu-like symptoms where you'd be doing the same thing anyway.
The highest mortality rate is amongst those with a combination of the 5 pre-existing conditions and over 50. It can take months to recover.

Given that we have the highest rate of aids outside of Africa, a high rate of cancer, diabetes, and dormant TB, be precautious. Consider that all with aids will be severely affected.

Inefficient. Wash up to your elbow with something alcohol-based. You wipe your sweat with your elbow and sneeze into it where the forearm touches your face so use restaurant-style washing.
