so my parents phone was busted yesterday, I could hear them but they couldn't hear me, so I went on amazon to send them replacements handsets with bigger buttons so they wouldn't have to go out but now I'm paranoid the delivery guy will have the virus so
I'm thinking of calling them to tell them to let them leave it between the storm doors and spray it with lysol before they bring it in.. is this cautionary, or completely paranoid insanity.
Everyone has implemented no contact deliveries over here. They ring the doorbell and leave the package/food/whatever at the door and stay 2 metres away until you come out and take it.
We are all paranoid and insane. Embrace it.
youre insane but its adorable
You’re just being careful.
better save then sorry right? I dunno, I just don't want to like scare them or anything, they are already on edge, but I also don't want them to be going out somewhere crowded either.
teach them how to grocery delivery
they don't live in a place with that kind of service, which for the first time in my life I'm oddly glad about. they stock up on food so thats all fine cause tis very rural
I know you don’t want to scare them, but you kinda have to. They need to not be in public right now.
right I called them and told them to let them leave it there and spray it, they laughed but I was like do not touch it until its sprayed lol. so they promised they would and they seemed amused by my ordering them around, so that part was fine, but even during a pandemic we couldn't pass up the "don't spend your money on us" portion of the conversation lol
Yes, spray the package. Put on gloves to bring it in, then let it sit for a couple of days. This is my paranoia. I've been spraying packages for awhile, but I understand they're seeing that this virus does stay on surfaces for up to 2 days.
yeah I saw that too was it someone was saying it can survive for ages on hard surfaces I think? not sure how accurate any of it is but even the idea of that is daunting
It is. But spraying and waiting, then spraying again later might be a good protocol until we know more.
The virus doesn’t survive as long on cardboard boxes as it does on plastic or metals.
Hard surface 3 days, card board 1 day
