Todays Mpls Star Tribune had a piece about Amazon’s fulfillment Shakopee, MN center being overcrowded with one doctor advised covid19 case based on symptoms but ineligible for a test. The overcrowding derives from the large number of employees racing to pick orders. The situation suggests packages from the site might be contaminated. F Centers in other sites were reported as crowded with unprotected workers, so package contaminated might be widespread. To be safe disinfect Amazon packages and content.

There are much more likely things to worry about, e.g. Alien invasion.

So the "News" paper report is about if and maybe. That is shameful journalism IMHO. It causes people to make recommendations that may or may not be helpful. But they do unnerve many people.

All of the people who are now sick with this virus did not think it would happen to them. If you had told someone that was otherwise healthy that he/she would be dead in less than a month, you might have been laughed at, or worse, shunned. To those whom have lost a loved one, this is no laughing matter. We tend to think it won't/can't happen-------until it does.

Everything that comes into our house including packages, mail and groceries is stripped of its outer wrapper or box, and the inner wrapper gets sprayed with Clorox. Hands get washed immediately afterwards. Don't fool around with this stuff.
Come together - stay apart.
