SARS-cov-2 survives days on cardboard.

If you can’t give two fcks for the workers, do it for tour own consumers’ ass.

Amazon must enforce sanitary and safe working conditions during the COVID19 epidemic lest it becomes itself a source of contagion. More so now that home delivery is so important in the “stay home” strategy.

For fcks sake people, how big a stick do you need before you notice?!

It doesn't.

Yes, it does. In low humidity, room temperature settings, the virus can last for days on a surface.

From https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/new-coronaviru...

> The scientists found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel.

24 hours is within the time-frame of same-day deliveries at the least. I think OP's point still stands; it's a disease vector.

24 hours isn't days.

'Detectable' isn't the same as 'infectious,' though. There is zero evidence of actual transmission from mail and packaging materials.

If transmission via packaging were happening, what evidence would you expect us to have at this point, and why?

(Absence of evidence can be evidence of absence, but only in proportion to how easy the evidence would be to find if it existed, and how hard we've looked.)
