Okay this is a question I need to get answered asap:
I got a package from Hong Kong I ordered beginning of December last year.
It came in an air tight package. You know those plastic-elastic dhl packaging. When it arrived I wore mask and protection goggles. I packaged it now 3 times in a garbage back and put it somewhere safe outside my apartment. How long you guys think I should wait before opening the package?
I don't want to die to Corona-Chan.
Edit: forgot to say it was sent from Hong Kong on the 10th of March.
it’s 3 days max on hard surfaces, less on soft. So it should be dead. Depending on how you received it the outer packaging should be fine. US Mail, Fed Ex and UPS pass pretty much everything through UV sterilizers ever since the Anthrax envelopes. If you are worried about what’s inside open it with gloves and wipe it down. But it should be fine.
Those poor poor sailors. Being sent into the madness that is Cuomo and deBlasio. With luck somebody might elect to Keelhaul the Mayor,
So Trump mentioned he's going to invoke the Defense Production Act and "suspending all foreclosures and evictions until the end of April.".
I can’t wait to see the Twatter spergout as Spoony realizes he has been given a reprieve from living under a bridge directly by Drumpf. The mental contortions should be Olympic Class.
We have plenty of ventilators in stockpile. It's in excess of 10,000

oh cool, that sounds goo....wait, 10 THOUSAND? I think that number you just said is missing a zero Mister vice president.
Speaking of mental gymnastics, this sort of thing always amazes me. How much surge capacity does anybody think the healthcare system should routinely have? Everyone forgets that the other word for Surge Capacity in Medicine is “Waste”. Nobody is keeping half a million Ventilators in a warehouse, at $100k apiece “just in case”. The US maintains the largest medical surge capacity in the world. Largely through the US Military being tasked to be able to project Medical Assistance and Disaster relief globally in two directions at once. Having a surge capacity of 10k Vents is actually remarkable.
Oh and just to add some extra worry to everybodies psyche. The frontline Healthcare providers, the Doctors and Nurses are not the only ones you need to worry about getting sick in the hospitals. there is some overflow capacity of clinical personnel. What you need to worry about is down in the basement. Biomedical Engineering. This is a small department every hospital has made up of 3-10 Uber Nerds. The old school bearded unix nerds. The type of nerds that are exempt from the corporate dress codes, because they are THAT important, nobody else even begins to know how to do what they do, and without them things fall apart. These are the strange wizards that can keep broad catalogs of 10, 20, even 50 year old mission critical Medical technology working day to day. Every hospital has them. Every hospital needs them. They are hard to find and have insane job requirements. And there are no spares. As they get sick, shits gonna stop working. Fast.
