This npr.org article says the virus can live on cardboard up to 24 hours - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/14/811609026/the-new-coronavirus-can-live-on-surfaces-for-2-3-days-heres-how-to-clean-them
I do a lot of online shopping, mostly at amazon. I wonder how many different hands have touched my package from the warehouse, till it's left on my doorstep. That includes touching the items put inside the box.
Amazon ships a lot of clothing in plastic bags, sometimes a bag within another bag. Could the virus live longer inside a plastic bag?
I've also heard the stories about how hard the warehouse jobs are, so perhaps best virus practices fall by the wayside (oops, I sneezed in my hands, no time to run to the bathroom to wash them). Ditto for the UPS and Amazon drivers.
So, I'm thinking I should quarantine my packages in the garage for a day or two, but some nights it's still getting below freezing so that's an issue.
This virus pandemic is freaking me out!
