If anyone is reading this a few days after this post. Medical experts who are working with this specific virus wrote: > Many believe that in most circumstances, the virus can live for a couple of hours to a couple of days, depending on the surface and the environment around it. That is taken from one of the "verified" replies in https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/fdf5fq/we_are_a_team_of_medical_experts_following/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/fdf5fq/we_are_.... So a DVD being shipped "in a few days" (which is completely reasonable) falls in line with potentially still being infected if a glossy coated DVD sleeve or DVD is a material that can host this virus for days. I called Netflix about this and they said they do sanitize DVDs between shipments since they contain personally identifiable data like fingerprints but didn't mention how it was sanitized or guaranteed it would be sanitized. They also didn't mention the sleeve being sanitized that contains the DVD which is definitely re-used between shipments since it's always in questionable shape.
