skin cancer made us all forget that bright direct sunlight is Mother Nature's natural sanitizer?
I left an unopened Amazon delivery box out in the sun for a couple of hours. Of course, it didn't contain anything that heat could harm.

Cold works also. Refrigerator - if fits or outside if cold enough

I generally get my mail the next morning and it sits in the cold weather inside the mailbox. I washed my husband's med delivery today and made him wash his hands too because he picked it up before I got it cleaned [bubble envelope]. Sometimes I am wondering if I am being too careful and then I see the numbers jumping as far as infected people.
We now have surpassed China in people infected... :0

Sun? Great, but I'm in Scotland and it's only popping out a couple of times a week now (just to make us more depressed I guess).
I got a package today - a bottle of gin. Delivery guy left it on the porch. I opened the boxes, pulled the bottle out with a paper towel, put the boxes in recycle then washed the hell out of my hands.

Now, as long as my neighbors... and the local police... don't have a problem with a 73 year old man sunbathing naked in his front yard...…………..

I wear gloves to get my mail from my street side mail box.. and I bring the mail in the house.. (hubby opens the door so I don't touch the doorknob with my gloved hands.. then I open the mail.. discard all the envelopes and finally remove my gloves and wash my hands.. I'm taking the approach in treating every single item I can touch as if it's covered in virus..

The ladies at our Post Office wear nitrile gloves ever since the Anthrax incidents after 9-11.
