Incidentally on the idea of washing the petrol pump after use, the logistics of that make it a non starter.

How about gloves + wiping ones steering wheel with a wipe. If all the wipes are gone, a kitchen towel liberally does with white vinegar might do it. I've found vinegar doesn't harm my phone screen so that gets a wipe if I've been out.
A friend of mine has been "grounded" by his son, who delivers supplies to his door. He then wipes the whole lot down with antiseptic wipes.
I mentioned internet shopping to my wife and she just snorted: she's convinced the risks are low and the whole thing is just over-hyped. I believe this is an illusion caused by moving out of London into West Sussex. Yes, it does seem more remote, but there are still cases close by, and people still travelling in and out of the village.
I'm not sure what to do about tradesmen. I have work that needs doing as we have just moved in, but perhaps I need to put it all off for three months.
Sorry, this post drifted OT, being a compendium of recent thoughts!
