If we count the thousands of infections( reported by the media), the relationship with mortality it’s not very high.But influence is easily transmitted,
don’t know if Germs survive during shipment,better not buy for a while until is end
12 parcels in the post from china 
but can germs and viruses survive being in a cargo plane at low temps, minus 30oC ?
ill wear latex gloves and clean the stuff that comes with some anti bactiria and some alcohol
and maybe steam clean
or is this to far!
i heard the chinesee holidays will extend……so,no sense to order next two weeks or so…
I’d touch a light from China today with no hesitations. The thing is hygiene - wash your hands properly before eating anything or putting them near your mouth and it’s sorted.
Damn straight.
I mean people should be doing that anyway… that’s kinda how this sort of things spreads.
Also don’t forget to wash the flashlight with soap and hot water.
you have to be sure they are 100% waterproof and well close
Ain’t it better to use alcohol or UV waves?
I think some viruses can survive 48 hours outside the body and on synthetic materials. Ie. Genuine leather should be a way more unhygienic than synthetic leather, as viruses and microbes thrive much batter on natural surfaces compared to synthetic ones.
Yes alcool or a disinfectant should be better
Some also said vapor but not experience
maybe tin foil hat can help?
so is anyone worried buying a light from china now? i am… who knows…
I’m not.
better dead than not to get my next chosen flashlights asap……
my flashlight order (Astrolux HL01 is now being returned to Banggood for some reason tracking status says “return on order”.
My guess is extra scrutiny will be given to all packages coming in from China, to ensure no one is trying to bring in “the bug” in some survivable transport environment. It will likely delay shipments currently enroute.
I’m OK with it. There isn’t anything urgent that I’m waiting for.

Doesn’t protect against mudane diseases you should be wiping/washing a torch against to begin with, scaremongering or not.
