I saw an ad on here about 5 weeks ago for some hand made leather shoes ( Pearlfeet ). I thought they looked cool and comfortable , so I ordered two different pairs.
I know maybe this sounds paranoid as hell , but I'd rather be safe then sorry , with the conovirus thing going on over there. To be on the safe side , is there a time table of how long that virus can live without human contact? Like I said , I don't think I have anything to worry about , but I'd rather play it safe. What's your thoughts on this?

The shipping on these shoes took a while , but I've ordered other stuff from China , which got here in like 7 days.

Just shows the amazing difference simple precautions we can all take can potentially make e.g washing hands after touching door knobs etc.
I know we joke about this shit , but in honesty , what if I did catch something from this package , and then spread it? I'm not as worried for myself , as I would be for the people that could possibly get it. That's why I'm trying to be safe about it. Why take a chance , when we can just take a couple minutes to make sure it doesn't spread? Which btw , 14 new people just got detected here in the states from Japan , and nobody knew about it.
I dunno , I don't think it's too funny as it's already killed over 2000 people , and that number keeps going up.
The past has shown us how dangerous these viruses can be such as the Spanish flu with estimate 20 - 50 million dead and the plague with estimates up to 200 million. With today’s international travel a spread is a lot quicker so if we see numbers higher than that I dread to think.
However, the delivery driver could have coughed into his hand though before he touched your doorbell though......
News is not telling the truth about the deaths so far.. more then 1.5 million infected and over a 300k deaths.
With simpel words when it's your time to go then it's your time BUT with new shoes!!
Pit Row
300,000/1,500,000 = 2%
Science... and math
Seeing as our grocery stores and department stores are littered with Chinese product, I think you'll be fine. Hence why we worry about airports, with warm bodied hosts.
Its simple diffusion, the higher concentrated you are near an airborne virus, the more likely you are to get sick, which is why I always get sick going to the gallaria mall (the place is so huge, it is a small city).
Sorry I go overboard, I just love being a teacher, I'm an actual professor, not just a professor for a motocross videogame! I just happen to love motocross.
