    Everybody has their own level of comfort. I stick the mail in the sunroom for 24-48 hrs before opening it because it's really easy to do, but when we get food we put it straight in the fridge, because otherwise it will go off, and I'll get food poisoning, which wouldn't feel good. I realise the chance of catching Covid from the mail is low, but you can further reduce a small risk with a very minor action. In the unlikely event that something very urgent arrives in the mail, I'll open it immediately.

    You don't need to overthink this. (Yes, that meant ironically)

    I didn’t ask about the time , it’s your level of fear. What if you forget to wipe or open a piece of mail without curing it, are you scared?

    I don't use wipes. I'm not scared, no. If I go into a store, I use hand sanitiser when I come out, and if I pay with a credit card, I give that a quick wipe down.

    This isn't about being scared - it seems quite likely that a lot of us are going to get this eventually, one way or another. I'm mainly trying to avoid being one of the fucking idiots who create a big surge.

    @Doctor-Phibes use a no-contact method of payment? My credit cards and watch allow that.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      It's all a bit backward here. as my main bank is a Credit Union. I guess I could program my iPhone to do it, but I feel like I might be swapping one problem for another one.

      I was only joking

        How do I catch COVID-19? With a big box and a stick with a rope tied to it. I bait it with my 75-year-old neighbor.
