Is this satire or a dooms day sayer? Can’t really tell.

I’m assuming this is satire. Product ships from China every day and would surely cause immense sickness if virus clings to clamshells and survives two weeks on the ocean let alone 5 days in an airplane. Show me the proof if you’re serious. Here’s my source:

No, You Won't Catch The New Coronavirus Via Packages Or Mail From China

Experts in infectious disease say viruses such as the novel coronavirus don't survive long on surfaces, and there's no evidence from similar outbreaks that anyone got infected by handling a package.

When you say “it is being reported all over” what does that mean? I can’t find any main stream news reports at all

His first two paragraphs don't make a lot of sense. It's doubtful anyone has

I think byukarl is a Trumper. Not sure what you are talking about.
