@Kiwi Sapper, we need to get the message out to everyone to Quarantine goods coming into the household. If you re-read my post I am applying a two week dated quarantine. The Virus may still be detectable on surfaces after 17 days as was found in the study that you linked, and in all reality it may (RNA) be detectable in 100 years. What we don't know is for how long it is viable and can cause infection. Longer than the three days the PM tells us. Desiccating ( drying ) the virus on package surfaces should be the aim of storage

@Moa Hunter Your concern that "goods" could hold the virus was raised a couple of weeks ago about packages from Aliexpress, China. Initially NZ Customs said they would delay processing them for a period but then went all silent....Nothing since. I did note that I received one delivery since their statement and that was not delayed.

HOWEVER, I agree you have a valid point about this and 14 + days is probably a good starting point in view of the uncertainty and "false news."

A proviso, treat all of the Show Pony's statements with the derision they deserve because of her ongoing history of political falsehoods.

From speaking with the smart people, IMO this advice about desiccation is spot on. Plus, Tincture of (Elapsed) Time before opening/touching anything is our friend in this context.

Xi-virus loves itself our warm wet places (above the waistline...) which is why it multiplies so vigorously / so early on (a thousand times the volume of SARS virus particles are shed) in the mouth, nose, nasopharynx and airway, before it then does a deep dive down to those lovely moist lungs.

It does not love hot dry places.
