Anyone close to New York City ?

I completely agree. That’s why I’m not wasting any effort. I just wanted to talk to people on here that are more familiar with the same circumstances. Concerning that location. If any mail was actually getting in and out. I’m sure, NYC is the worst. This whole practice of social distancing and shutting everything down is extremely contradicting. When people all over the world are still shipping items all over the world. It’s not the same here in the US / all over the US. Everyone for the most part can still go most places. Shop with no restraints, many people still working, people are still shipping all over the world. Anyone can walk into any grocery / convenient store, Walmarts, etc. They closed all food businesses and operating a drive thru only. Most drive thru employees are not wearing gloves. Touching everyone’s money or bank cards. Where does this make any damn sense ? Global and continental shipping still occurring has to be the most contradictory aspect of this whole shut down. As bad as NYC was/is. I might never see the package. Maybe, that’s a good thing. Ha ha

I hear ya on the shipping. I don't think its so much contradicting as it is choosing a lesser evil. People need stuff. With deliveries, contact is one to one, hand to hand. It's not 100's of people packed into a store where one person can instantly infect many others. Our stores are all limited #s inside and spacing out lines etc. So When we do go there it's limited contact. All deliveries to my house (including the mail) get sprayed/wiped down with disinfectant. I work full time plus thru this. There are a lot of safeguards in place, extra cleaning etc. The one part they have not gotten past is people don't know how far 6 feet is. LOL Starting Sunday PA is required to wear masks. Everyone, Everywhere in public. That will be interesting at work in a high noise environment where it can be very difficult to hold a conversation 6ft apart without a mask. But...all that said - it's all about LESS transfer and slowing it down. I don't think anyone was ever thinking they could truly contain or stop this.
