I’m waiting for my new Apple Watch to arrive today, and I’ve got my rubber gloves and mask ready to combat the germs that might be in the box! I don’t know if it’s necessary but my husband insists.

Paranoia, the germs can’t live on the packaging, it’s totally pointless and silly. By the time it gets to you it’s impossible to be on there.
People need to get a grip.

You’re wrong.
It’s proven that the coronavirus can survive up to a few days on surfaces.
People need correct information is what it is.
While it can be detected up to a few days on a surface the virus is not viable. People need the correct information.
That’s true. It’s just never wrong to be extra cautious though. I said as much in my initial reply to the question.
Also, I work for the Dutch equivalent of UPS and handle around 200 packages per day, 5 times a week with my bare hands. I’m not afraid.
But I won’t tell somebody else to not be afraid either. I need a clean conscience.
Any packages that get delivered to my home get disinfected first. Not because of where they came from, but because they were physically handled by numerous people, including the delivery agent, right up to my door.
I work at the post office. Before your package and mail arrives to you, it go through so many machines and is bumped around before it arrives in your hands, mailbox or porch. The coronavirus don’t live long on these items if they are on it. We have had this talk with our managers and supervisors. I have worked throughout the entire pandemic and not once have I came into contact with mail or packages that anyone would think would be on it. I also wear a mask while working and change my gloves out several times a day and also carry hand sanitizer with me. You’re wasting your Lysol spray spraying a box or mail. To give you peace of mind just use gloves, open boxes and dispose of them immediately. For mail just let it sit in your mailbox but I have to warn you that if your box is full we won’t deliver your mail that day.
No, I do not. Call me cavalier, but I have absolutely no concern at all.
