The virus

One artist asked:

Are you quarantining your new mail art for two weeks? Should we be using gloves?

I replied:

This is an important issue. I do not know what to do. Just in case, I keep mail in a package in the hallway. I’m waiting for days or weeks to pass ... I don’t use gloves.
The virus lives mainly in an organic environment. For some time, the virus can live on a metal (plastic) surface, but not for very long. I do not think mail is dangerous. You can just wait, do not touch for two weeks ...
