As coronavirus spreads across the U.S., people are staying home and avoiding non-essential activities in the name of social dis- tancing and flattening the curve. To help, many retailers and restaurants have rolled out home delivery along with contactless options, leaving food orders and grocery deliveries on door steps. But for some, home de- livery isn’t an option and at some point you may need to go to the grocery store to stock up on food and sup- plies. What can you do to help protect yourself? Try these tips for shop- ping safely at the store amid the COVID-19 out- break: SHOP DURING LESS CROWDED TIMES If possible, avoid going to the grocery store during busy times of day and don’t go daily, Good House- keeping reported. If you see someone you know, nod or wave from afar and avoid hugs and handshakes. Don’t know when your grocery store is busy? Try typing its name and loca- tion into Google — a graph may appear showing the store’s busiest times, ac- cording to Consumer Re- ports. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ‘SENIOR HOURS’ In an effort to keep crowds away, some stores set aside time called “se- nior hours” especially for older shoppers who are at higher risk of severe symp- toms related to COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognize people age 65 and older at higher risk for severe illness. Here are some of the senior hours at stores across South Florida: A Publix:Shoppers ages 65 and older can shop at all Publix grocery stores on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7-8 a.m. The stores’ pharmacies will also open at 7 a.m. for seniors. Publix has changed its hours and is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A Fresh Market: 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, for senior citizens and others at risk. A Sedano’s:7 a.m. to 8 a.m., for senior citizens and others at-risk. A Target:The first hour of store opening each Wednesday reserved for “elderly and those with underlying health con- cerns.” Check your Target location. A Whole Foods:One hour before store opening for customers 60 or older. Check your Whole Foods for its opening time. LOOK, DON’T TOUCH Don’t pick up an item you aren’t sure you’re go- ing to buy, according to The Mercury News. In- stead, do your best to read the label without touching. When you pick up an item, be sure not to touch your face, eyes and nose after, Good Housekeeping reported. Gloves? Don’t bother. “If your gloves touch a contaminated product, they will just contaminate the next thing that is touched,” according to Good House- keeping. “Just shop with caution.” And of course, be sure to wipe down your cart or basket with sanitizing wipes before shopping.

Dental TechWe’re not all cut out to be teachers — that’s a fact many of us learned this week. After it was announced that schools were closing amid the coronavirus pandemic, parents had to step up and put on their home-school hats. For the fortunate ones who are able to work re- motely, this can be a great time for bonding with your children, whom you often don’t see during the work- day. But as many found out, homeschooling doesn’t just involve reading, writ- ing and ‘rithmetic. Many social media users are expressing their experi- ences, some frustrating, some hysterical, via memes, gifs and free- flowing rants. Just do a search for the hashtag #homeschooling and you’ll see quite the sampling. The takeaway: Being a teacher is not easy and we all need to appre- ciate the hell out of them once the madness calms down. Math seems to be a tricky subject for most folks. One parent admitted to using Mr. Google to be able to help. The majority of folks don’t know a lick about Common Core, the stan- dardized curriculum that started in schools in 2009. One funny meme is about we’re all going to go old school. Dad Jason Dotson joked that homeschool teachers should unionize: “NO ONE should be forced to work under the circum- stances,” he tweeted. Another mom with the handle @BrendaFA81 thinks teachers should be paid “a million dollars” and showed a picture of an agonizingly perfect makeshift calendar out- lining activities for the school day. We are seeing a lot of posts about how much looser rules are when studies are conducted in the living room or kitchen. “I’m teaching my kids how to bartend for me and tipping them in Gold- fish crackers,”posted @elisabeth. And others are realizing how much patience it takes to educate, with one meme illustrating how many questions a child asks in an average day. One of the funnier memes making the rounds: “Home schooling is going great: Two stu- dents were suspended for fighting, one student in detention for talking back and one teacher fired for drinking tequila on the job.” Having little people around 24/7 may not be such a bad deal: Many smartypants are using the opportunity to teach home economics. “Cooking 101, Washing Dishes 101A, Laundry 102, Sewing 102A, Vacu- uming 103 & Garbage 104.” Now that doesn’t sound like such a bad curriculum at all. Joking, just joking. Hang in there. We got this. Madeleine Marr: madeleinemarr EDUCATION Parents share what homeschooling kids is like BY MADELEINE MARR mmarr@miamiherald.com fast-growing disease, Washington said. The self-isolations were prompted after a 70-year- old Broward County man, who also attended the Tampa conference, tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coro- navirus. It’s unknown how many days the Reedy Creek per- sonnel have been in self- isolation. A spokes- man for Disney World, which re- mained open Thurs- day, re- ferred ques- tions to the fire depart- ment. CO- VID-19 has been ravag- ing coun- tries across the world at an alarming pace for the past two months. It is also growing quickly in Florida. In the past day Miami- Dade County Mayor Carlos Giminez and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez have gone into self-isolation after being near a Brazilian press secretary close to the coun- try’s president, who visited South Florida last week- end. As of Thursday, 27 Florida residents and three non-residents in Florida have contracted the virus. Two people in Florida have died. One 56-year-old man in Miami is suffering from the illness. Devoun Cetoute: 305-376-2026, @devoun_cetoute Four Miami-Dade Coun- ty firefighters have been self-quarantined for more than a week after attending an Emergency Medical Services Conference in Tampa earlier this month in which one of the attend- ees tested positive for the newest strain of coronavi- rus. “None have any signs or symptoms at this point,” said Frank Rol- lason, di- rector of emergency manage- ment for Miami-Dade County. Some Miami firefighters also attended the March 2-6 conference, but none on the same day the sick man attended, said Miami Fire C.apt. Ignatius Carroll. None have been quarantin- ed. In additIon to the Mia- mi-Dade firefighters, seven fire personnel from the Reedy Creek Fire and Res- cue Department, which serves Walt Disney World, have been quarantined. Six of those workers attended the conference, said Eryka Washington, the communi- cations manager for the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
