What are you doing about your daily mail? Maybe...

.... mail isn't handled much by humans anymore? Just the outside pieces by the mail carrier? Do mail carriers use hand sanitizer a lot?

1. I'm washing my hands when I engage with new objects - like mail.

And when I get home, get to work, etc.

Does the virus live on surfaces for long? Is it mainly human-to-human contact? these are things you can look up.

2. Nothing different. Nt

3. Burner barrel next to the mailbox.

To hell with the bills.

4. There is a diagnosed USPS worker in Washington I believe,

hard to believe he is the only one.

5. At my post office, the have hand sanitizer available to customers

and they were spraying surfaces with Lysol.

Last night, I saw my local post office worker running through Walmart with a full cart of bottled water

7. Nothing. The chances you will get it from your mail is extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY low.

9. How do you know it's extremely low? nt

8. I certainly thought about it

When I got an Ebay package from Washington State yesterday. It only took four days to get here, and I have be led to believe that the virus can live on non-porous surfaces for 9 days; I have not heard any estimate for porous surfaces. I know the odds are extremely low, but so were the odds of electing a Fascist president in my lifetime.
