Comprehensive COVID-19 Disinfection Protocol for Packages and Envelopes

Thanks for writing this up. Since the time you published this, and given the comments and other developments, I'm curious if you still feel that this is necessary? The CDC and FDA websites both don't rule out food-borne transmission but say it's unlikely, and https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/14/811609026/the-new-coronavirus-can-live-on-surfaces-for-2-3-days-heres-how-to-clean-them suggests from a federal study that it can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours, and on plastic and stainless steel up to 72 hours.
