I ordered a few supplies on Amazon. Do you think it will be unsafe to do that at some point? I'm SIP at my parent's house. Don't want to get them sick..

Well let it sit for 9 days and you should be good to go. Or you could decontaminate it. And to be 100% safe, assume it's already too late and act accordingly, 9 days or decontamination..

Good advice!
How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving.

Virus only lasts 24 hours on cardboard if that's what you are concerned about, Lysol the package then let it sit in the garage or shed for a day or two...then Lysol the products inside if possible. But I am not worried about it personally.

If you really want to get technical, just apply this timescale for hands-off:
