The doctor on ABC ( nice looking blond woman) said if you go out you have to remove your clothes when you come home and put them in the washer. You don't wear them again without washing.
My 35 year old niece, who rides a bus to work in Chicago, has been doing that for over two weeks. She immediately strips and puts all her clothes (including her jacket) in the washer and then takes a shower right after work each day. She leaves her "outside shoes" in a box outside the door and wears something else inside her apartment.

She's got it! My son did that when he went grocery shopping for me last week. He drove, but I was sick. He left his shoes outside, and stripped to his underwear at the door.
We had a local guy in a rural county test positive last week. He worked in an auto parts factory, got back from Africa in the National Guard last fall, and went on a cruise and was back in late December.
He remains asymptomatic and said he feels completely fine.
I wonder why he tested, if asymptomatic?
What I'm having trouble understanding is why some folks fall deathly ill, and this guy has no symptoms? Really strange how this disease affects people differently.

Besides genetics and underlying vulnerability, I do wonder (no evidence or link but observation) if it is dose-related, that is, if person-to-person, one level, if three-day-old from a surface, another level. And so on in between dose levels.

Every day we hear something new on this virus.
I read an article that talked about viral load. It's how much of the virus you take into your system.
This is still just a hypothesis though but it sounds logical.
That's why I plan to wear a mask next time I go food shopping. If nothing else maybe it will filter what I inhale.

“After we are infected with a virus, it replicates in our body’s cells. The total amount of virus a person has inside them is referred to as their ‘viral load’. For COVID-19, early reports from China suggest that the viral load is higher in patients with more severe disease, which is also the case for Sars and influenza.

I think that is absolutely true, and it puts to bed the thought "well, the mask can't stop it anyway" refrain. It might not stop it entirely, but it can reduce the viral load, and temper the severity of your symptoms. I believe that ones immunity strength is the determining factor. Note there are supplements you can take that will help, if you take a coconut oil supplement with lauric acid, it is converted into monolaurin, the same thing babies get from breast milk, to help their vulnerable immune system.
Not pushing this supplement (which I believe you can get the monolaurin stand alone supplement) but throwing it out there as another way to prevent getting getting deathly ill from this virus. There are other supplements that will work as well, but I like this one because monolaurin actually targets viruses.
