I've started wrapping shared touch surfaces (doorknobs, handles, etc) in my apartment with copper tape. It's pretty cheap ($12 for 66ft on Amazon). You do need to be careful about gripping the surfaces though, because the sharp edges in the copper foil can cause small cuts which would actually make you more susceptible to viral infection.

Why not just spray it with some alcohol occasionally ?

I think at some point we need to not make this an environmental disaster from over consumption of disposable items.

I think he is kidding.

They may not be. Copper is antimicrobial and sometimes gets used in hospitals for things like railings because it helps prevent the spread of infection.

Who would know anymore, the whole thing is getting rather silly, from hoarding food to toilet paper etc to wearing plastic bottles over your head.

It's really starting to get a bit out of hand.
