I ordered airpods pro from Apple. They were built recently in China. It was just shipped to the usa and passed customs in Anchorage Alaska. I should receive this item next week.
Should I be concerned about getting the Coronavirus virus from them?

I heard recently that the virus can't live outside of a host.

It is highly likely the genetic code of the virus was smeared to hard drive and as soon as you turn the power on the genetic code can be synthesized into live virus and transmitted by wifi into your nostril. I wouldn't buy it.

It makes one wonder whether the Virus will have any impact upon the sales of Corona Beer, either way ?.
Perhaps the makers could add a catchy slogan to take advantage of any free publicity ...

"A Corona Beer a day, keeps the Coronavirus at bay" beer ..... laugh

I suspect that the vast majority of manufactured products are imported from China, including here conversing

And as a side note, my daughter tells me that today she went to Chinatown in Sydney and it was like a ghost town.

Peak tourist season, this country can't take a break.

A very interesting, and important question. And I am amazed that it hasn't been formally addressed across the spectrum of media considering that today so much merchandise originates from China.
That tells you something, no?

There is a vast amount of disinformation online about the shelf-life of the virus. I have read anything from 4 hours on a metal surface, to 24 hours in a warm, moist pile of poo. Anybody ordered the latter recently?

I recently bought a couple of 15oz. Cans of Mackerel...I justed looked and it was canned in China.....It would have been before this virus...But it would have been on Metal surfaces at some point..Who knows how much handling could have been done..Anyway, that is just one example...uh oh dunno
Something to think about.
