Don't worry about it. The virus can't stay alive out of the body. By the time the blade reaches you, it will be fine. Even if 100 people coughed on it.

Iasta is correct. WHO even issued a statement about that.

If you live in a big metropolis, so you guys are from Canada and Australia, somewhere like Vancouver and Sydney, given how many Chinese travel here and there, given how fast the stuff is spreading its inevitable that the virus will end up coming near you sooner or later

NOT TRUE. We were just adviced to give all the incoming China parcels some quartz lamp treatment. Luckily, I have got one.

Adviced by whom? For now, the sciency part of my brain tells me the WHO analysis and advice are quite plausible.

Unless the blade is laden with spit from an wffected person i do not think it will spread infection.

I have received 2 parcels from China in the last month, the last one was last week. If I catch anything, I'll let you know. But I really doubt it, because, no, a virus cannot live outside of the body for very long, and I really doubt that the UK Post Office would handle anything that was potentially dangerous. The only problem you may have is a longer than normal wait, as business is not quite as usual in China at the moment.

Previous Coronavirus types are easy to kill but they can persist on surfaces up to 9 days.

TTD needs to add a thumb down icon.

Dan is working on a "Really hate on this" button, but the politically correct mafia Goon Squad is pressuring him...

Ultimately, I think Dan will call it "Toilet"
