Dear Jeff Bezos, instead of firing me, protect your workers from coronavirus

We have been wiping down and sanitizing any packages and contents that come to our door. Never assume someone else is doing the right thing, just like why you still look even when the light is green.

COVID-19 can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours, 3 days on plastic. I would suggest using gloves (if available) to open the package, have someone else remove contents, and then with gloves still on, dispose of the box in a container of some sort (garbage bag, etc). Wash hands after all contact with incoming material.

EDIT: Washing your hands well is probably sufficient; excuse my paranoia suggesting gloves, extraordinary times.

According to a German virologist that was interviewed a few days ago they extensively took samples from houses of highly infectious people and couldn't get any of it to grow in vivo. Are there any cases were we know of surface transmission?

Because from what I have read that is extremely unlikely.
