My Wife has just started getting in to making jewelry.

Since December, around 3 or 4 times per week,
Postie has been delivering small packages and parcels from China containing resins and molds.

She is a VERY late riser and so its me who picks then up.
I jokingly complained that they may be covered in virus.
She gave me a can of Dettol Spray. rolleyes

Would you like someone to show you how to use it? I'm thinking you may not be able to work it out.

Aim away from face.

Actually, some might say that's a reasonable mantra for most things.

Corvid-19 lasts about 24 hours on cardboard if that helps. (72 hours on plastics).

COVID-19 remains infections for up to 24h on cardboard. So unless you are receiving seriously expedited parcels I'd not worry too much

Sure, but then you've got to worry about everything, not just parcels specifically from China

Just been watching a vid from a doctor on how to deal with home shopping and stuff through the post. he said dont bring cardboard into the house. Open the box and tip it all into a cleaned plastic bag, put any card or paper wrapping into the bin and then wash your hands without touching door handles or any hard surface.

On the keeper side, she did buy me new alloys, brakes upgrade, leather interior re-trim and more stuff for my TVR. smile
