How long before we stop having snail mail delivered?

[CTyankee]

Some of us still use it. We're old but we're not dead yet (hat tip: Monty Python)...

1. I'm concerned with this as well,

as I have a prescribed med that's apparently only available from a mail-order pharmacy.

3. Hubby uses it. It's a godsend, IMO. I wish I used it instead of relying on my pharmacy in Stop and

Shop...

8. I just started last week

On a mail order prescription service, as well, it’s the only way I can get this particular med at a halfway affordable price.

2. My mail has slowed down. Carriers are wearing gloves, which is good.. nt

4. I doubt that snail mail will go away.

The USPS is constitutionally mandated. We might see restricted delivery, however—perhaps as little as twice a week?

6. Ah, yes.

12. That's a great idea

I pick my mail up once a week and throw the junk mail away right away which is half of it. It’d be smart to deliver mail maybe Wednesday and Saturday or if they really want safety just Saturday.

5. I don't expect to see it stopped, but as people get sick and miss work, we will see a slow down

not all get sick, when they do, its not all at once and almost all recover

7. Would it be impossible for all mail to pass through UVC lights

Sounds like that was done effectively during anthrax scares. Just curious if it would be possible systemwide.

[CTyankee]

9. Um, what would that do to meds?

[C_U_L8R]

10. I thought it just affects the outside... but I could be wrong

Don't know a lot about UVC... but am curious. Thought we might want some in our home too.

11. Small businesses depend on mail for payment

Yes, they could switch to electronic payment, but that isn't what most companies do---speaking from my own experience; waiting for the checks in the mail for over 35 years.

13. No! I'm using mail to avoid physical contact with clients.

About half my clients aren’t so good scanning and emailing. But I can keep them out of my office by mailing documents back and forth. Stop mail and we will be breathing together in my office, not good.
