Grocery shopping in the time of coronavirus just got one step more complicated.
According to Dr. Mehmet Oz and his correspondent Mara Schiavocampo, making the harrowing trip to the supermarket is only half the battle. Now, you have to disinfect your groceries, too.
“You know Dr. Oz, this takes me much longer than my normal routine. What you used to take five minutes of unpacking groceries now takes twenty minutes,” Schiavocampo said. “But, food is really the only thing that we are bringing in from the outside and we know that the virus can live on cardboard for up to twenty-four hours, and on plastic, up to two to three days. So I’m taking these precautions very seriously.”

Opening up about Joe's 41-month prison sentence in an ABC News interview, Tuesday, Teresa said she didn't necessarily need to give her husband advice for prison because "he lived through the whole thing."

"A little bit of both," Love replied with a laugh. "In a way when you first take off that robe you are like, ‘Here I am! I'm out there,'" he said. "So it was an experience. ...

ABC News president Ben Sherwood made it official this morning, announcing Mara Schiavocampo has joined ABC News as a New York-based correspondent. Schiavocampo, who’d been with NBC since 2007, becoming Early Today anchor in ’10 and also anchoring MSNBC’s First Look, left that network in December. At ABC News she will be a New York-based correspondent reporting on all platforms. One day earlier, George Stephanopoulos announced on This Week that Bill Kristol, the editor and publisher of The Weekly Standard, had joined ABC News as a contributor. Kristol’s decade-long contributor relationship with Fox News ended last summer — owing to a cooling of his relationship with Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, or rather because Fnc made a lot of changes and no longer needed his services and there was no cooling at all, depending on your source. From ABC News president Ben Sherwood’s note to staff about Schiavocampo: Mara...
