I’m surprised about the bleach. Harm reduction places in the City were handing out bleach kits with new syringes to addicts. I figured it killed everything!
Household bleach is 1.25 % sodium hydroxide. Industrial bleach runs at 12.5%. If the household bleach won't kill it, the industrial will. I think we used 13 % when I was running with the rescue squad. We got trained that wiping down our gurney mattresses/pads with bleach and let it stand 1o minutes, wipe it off with a damp cloth, let dry and replace sheets and you've killed H.I.V..
But yes, it's being said bleach won't kill the Mexican beer virus/pathogen. Would imagine though x-rays do and more likely than naught @The Cromwell's package.s from China get x-ray scanned at the very least once if not thrice. I suspect anyone's packages from outside the U.S. get such scanning. I'm sure though they do not x-ray batteries.
Why the x-ray scanning? First, to protect U.S. Postal works from biological threats. Second, since 9/11/2001 we're on high alert security meaning packages get checked the more so. X-ray provides means to see bombs and kill bio agents. Something looks odd on x-ray, a package gets opened and inspected. Bemoan invasion of privacy if you will but this something I see as beneficial, purposeful and bearing merit.
Brief aside regarding Marshall Law. We are currently under Marshall Law despite any obvious announcements of it. I point to the closing of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to through automobile traffic as one indication of that fact.
Another is that when Bush JR. was in office he set up an Army battalion to patrol U.S. soil, as in here in the United States proper. That battalion is tasked with rapid response and engagement to to acts of war, terrorism, insurrection.
That battalion to this day is still on patrol. So yes, we're under Marshall Law, even if we've not been told as much "officially". Sometimes what isn't said speaks the loudest.
Don't think anyone wants letters or packages going boom. Well, I might like the glitter bomb I'm sending my mom to pop and toss glitter all over her. That's not within the parameters of the discussion. Besides, I can sort out a harmless way to do that without arousing suspicions.
