There's a lot of plastic in Amazon packages I get... someone could easily sweat on the shrink wrap of my floss

Again, there has been no evidence that there has even been one community transmission by mail items. There is precious little information about how much surface relay of this or any other virus is much of a problem anyway. Were you full Howard Hughes mysophobia before this came out?

  I mean, personal attacks aren't cool, but I feel like these are extenuating circumstances. If you really want to know, my grandma is immune compromised from chemotherapy and I worry about people being so relaxed about these attack vectors. If she gets to survive because they shut down this warehouse, I would take that deal in a heartbeat.

    I didn't make a personal attack. > my grandma is immune compromised from chemotherap Anyone in that group should be fully isolated and the advice for dropping goods etc, receiving packages is to leave them for 24 hours before handling if possible. The hystrionics about shutting down important logistics to appease certain individuals media induced madness is a serious issue in itself

      I don't want it shut down, I want reasonable precaution, but they aren't taking it, so shutting down seems to be logical

        No, it isn't

  >no evidence that there has even been one community transmission by mail items. How would this even be tested or proven to any reasonable assurance? The PCR test is questionable enough as it is. "Hold on sir while we build this biolab on your front lawn and isolate all objects that could've come from outside of the house then test them"

Sweat is not a problem. Droplets from respiratory tract are.

I don't know the context, but if you are looking for guarantees in life, then there is no possible way for you to accept any foreign material inside your home. I work in biotech(vaccines) and we have special protocols for disinfecting our incoming materials that go into cleanrooms. They are typically tripple-bagged from the vendor. And even then, there is no guarantee that something wont slip in. Its rare but it happens. If you do any kind of environmental monitoring in your home, and you will be surprised at the amount of bugs that you are currently sharing space with. Coronavirus is the new flavor of the month.
