I’ll be moving non-postal specific concerns on the Covid19 topic to the other more general Coronovirus thread, from this point forward. Thx.

Ok while I think a lot of this is over reaction I have to respect those that are in the group most likely to be affected or love with someone who is so I have a question. I’m packaging up seeds from a seed run. How do those of you at risk or living with someone at risk want them sanitized before I send them to @MomOnTheRun. I won’t do anything to the seeds themselves but how do you want the vials and packaging cleaned before I send it out?

I would leave it up to the receiver. The ability for the virus to survive is relatively short except for on plastic and stainless steel. Which are both easily cleaned. If you wanted to be a clean guy you could wear a mask and wash hands before putting on gloves before packaging up seeds. But all receiver would likely have to do is just isolate your package a few days to a week.

Plastic vials so that’s why I ask.

Cleaning the envelope before it arrives helps but wont make it clean by the time it arrives as 2-10 people may have touched it between you and the recipient. Best to leave it to the recipient but gloves and mask and a quick clean never hurts.

I use those plastic vials too.
Even though I use nitrile gloves I give a quick wipe with a clorox wipe.
The exterior packaging is what will risk exposure.
My last trade saw me in gloves, mask, bleach wipes at the ready.
Brings back my 'shroom days.

Oh I know I can’t keep the outer package clean, just don’t want anyone getting anything sent to them from my but the seeds know what I mean. I personal think it’s getting blown out of proportion, but I respect most of the people here and will respect their wishes to take precautions out of respect for them. I can think someone’s actions a bit foolish and still respect it lol

I agree with you that some of folks reactions to what this means for our communities is overblown.
Especially the toilet paper thing, wtf???
In a very short time though, this site and its contributors have become an extended family to me.
As with any other crisis, I want to assure and reassure my family that I’ll behave responsibly to them, for them.
So while I’m not part of your giveaway, I’m thankful and respect the actions you’re taking and I’m sure the participants do as well.
Good work.

Guys, just wash your fucking hands after handling anything that came from outside your home i.e mail, it’s simple. You should have been doing it all along anyway. This was on my local news last night people were too scared to go get their amazon packages off their doorstep… Even the news kinda clowned the people… You’re not going to get coronavirus from simply handling a package, even if it was dipped in coronavirus… Wash. Your. Hands.

Much appreciate your concern on the matter. I also submit that it should be up to the receiver. I expect you won’t cough on the package but who can say if there was some transfer during shipping.
Full speed ahead and a quarantine period for those who feel the need.

Anything coming into our home is handled as potential point of infection at this point.
We are including postal pieces in the calculus and will disinfect the exterior surface of the package appropriately.

Any suspected package containing seeds or herb may be redirected to my personal testing facility where a sample will be taken and contaminated product will be incinerated or buried
