We're so fucked, we can't even distribute supplies to people who can't leave their homes without giving them massive exposure risk. Not sure why it's so hard to buy some fucking masks and gloves for the warehouse

Detecting RNA on cardboard after 24 hours doesn't equal "massive exposure risk."

The odds of getting a virus from a mailed package are astronomical and then some

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.

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
