Have you bought some face masks?

It's really unlikely that this virus can live on surfaces for any significant amount of time. If it were, all the packages/mail being sent out of China would have infected the entire world by now. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shot...from-china

I had a Kickstarter shipped from China delayed by 4 weeks. It had tracking and the maker published updates. Sat on a ship for two weeks, then sat on the dock for almost 2 weeks before the USPS picked it up. Then 2 days to deliver it.

The delay was unusual. There was some speculation in the Kickstarter comments that the USPS was taking so long because they were irradiating packages to destroy the virus. I expect that the USPS was just being very inefficient. But with that long a delay, I'm confident that it was perfectly fine to open that package. :::cough:::
