Since I had a dozen packages of miners arrive in my home during Nov,Dec,Jan all shipped in under 3 days from China we may have been early victims of the disease.
you can not catch coronavirus (or any other virus) for that matter from a package. viruses don't last that long on surfaces, specially surface of a package.
of course it is possible that the person who handed you the package had the virus and had deposited some of their virus on the package exactly right before they handed you the packages.
this is mis-information
20 to 24 hours on cardboard
2 to 3 days on hard surfaces such as steel or plastic.

...A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested how long the coronavirus can last on different types of surfaces within a laboratory.
The study concluded that the virus “can remain viable” on copper for up to four hours, on cardboard for up to 24 hours and on plastic and steel for up to three days....

My wife is stable her temps good her O2 is around 95-97 vs 91-92
We take her O2 3 or 4 times a day. we take her temps 3 to 4 times a day.
Her 3 ½ day in hospital was Jan13 to Jan16 it was called community pneumonia both lungs.
Last effect now is endless post nasal drip which causes 3 or 4 coughing fits each day.
She has 5 cousins with the corona-v 3 in CT 2 in NY. We are in NJ
2 or her cousins are in intensive care the other 3 are getting better.
So 6 relatives 3 went to hospital.
2 still in hospital
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
all three states have bad numbers
"
NY 478 of 1 million die
NJ 265 of 1 million die
CT 155 of 1 million die " note: cleaned from charts in the link
all six relatives are 45 to 69 years old.
Still NY numbers if were all over the world would mean
478/1,000,000 x 8,000,000,000 = 3,824,000 worldwide deaths
compared to 1918-1919 spanish flu 20,000,000 out of 1,200,000,000
for this to be as bad as the spanish flu deaths worldwide would need to climb to 120-130 million.
God forbid this happens.
basically this is still yet to reach the 2009 h1n1 levels of 175,000 to 575,000 world wide
