Headphoneus Supremus
Wait, you’re on the west coast, and they’re quarantining a package from San Diego? Or do DC headphones come from somewhere else?
The crazy thing is — if the package might be contaminated, good job protecting the recipient, but what about all the people who handled it in transit?
Or is the idea that it might have been contaminated in transit?
Not sure I understand the risk we’re trying to mitigate here. I guess scientists don’t really know yet.
to clarify, I self-quarantine all mail order items for a few days in a corner of the garage. the virus can be supposedly remain viable on surfaces for a few days.
yes, they shipped from San Diego. most of the early California cases were in the southern half (los angeles area). transit contamination of the box is most likely, given a large number of people are in contact with the package. better to be safe than sorry at this point, a small sacrifice (if you can call it that), compared to other aspects of daily living which are now significantly different.
meanwhile, I can read the posts of other (highly satisfied) users.
stay safe.
