Has wiping down your groceries and take-out food become part of your coronavirus survival kit?

Experts say there's no need to wipe down your groceries or takeout.  But be sure to wash your hands!  Experts say It might be time to reconsider, if that extra effort is adding to your daily stress. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is saying there's no real risk of getting the virus that causes Covid-19 that way.
