I am suspending purchases directly from China for now. The whole country is in
chaos, according to our media. Their resources are strained. Too many chances
for something going wrong - ignored, lost, delayed, damaged, etc, etc, etc.

Very few vira can survive 14 days, and for all we know at present
that time is sufficient to desinfect 2019-nCov, and to detect any
infections.
A few specialized infectious agents have the ability to produce
"spores" which can survive for *long* periods of time, and then
revive on contact with humidity. The best known example is Anthrax.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
