After seeing the OP I immediately did some Googling, but should probably have included the results in my last post.
Basically, it seems the idea of Coronavirus surviving more than 2 days in a shipment highly improbable, and each hour that passes makes it less probable.
And Coronavirus has never been “confirmed” in any shipment.
@ Kame, “China Post” is China’s mail service, like the US’s USPS.
I am not alarmed, but if the virus comes from a manipulation for military purposes, it may have features introduced to make it more resistant. Surely we are getting more alarmed than we should be, but everything that comes from China I steam at 100°C (212°F); on the pretext that it’s winter, I’ll get it from the mailman with gloves on.
I know what china post is ;) and still think you misanderstood the tittle as it would make no sense to have it "confirmed in china post" as you explain it yourself but i'll stop here :)
A rep from the CDC said there’s a 6 foot danger zone from a infected person that coughs or sneezes.
I’d like to think it would be more if a person really rips a good “AAAaaaaaahhh CCChhhhooooooooo !!!
Are you serious? Are you saying you don’t believe that plagues are dangerous to society, and that today with jet travel, germs can travel globally well within their incubation period?
No I don’t think the world is ending, but yes, this is a disease breakout and needs affirmative action to quarantine and stop.
Check out this vid at about 1:20 it talks about the wet market conditions where the virus likely originated. It’s scary.
