AMAZON DELIVERY GUY DELIBERATELY SPITS ON PACKAGE

[thismybgolname]

This is disgusting, horrifying and possibly criminal during the coronavirus pandemic -- an Amazon delivery guy was caught spitting on a package and appearing to use his hand to smear it, as well.

TMZ's obtained video of the vile incident, which we're told occurred Thursday evening at a duplex residence in L.A.'s Hancock Park neighborhood.

Take a look ... the delivery guy sets the package down on the porch, leans over and spits ... then catches some of the spit and appears to wipe it on the package as more saliva falls out of his mouth. He then stands up as if nothing gross just happened, and takes a photo to verify the delivery.

Our sources say Amazon was contacted by a neighbor and a friend of the person whose package was spit on, and a customer service rep watched the footage with them.
We're told the rep gasped in horror and expressed shock that it was an older man, and not a young delivery worker. The rep confirmed the delivery guy was from a third party service and he was reported -- but said it's possible he might be back on the job today, anyway.

A neighbor posted the delivery confirmation photo -- with a strong note to Amazon -- and the image clearly shows liquid smeared on top of the box. Amazon is supposed to get back to the aggrieved party by Monday.

When we reached out about the video an Amazon spokesperson said, “We have high standards for delivery service partners and expect every package to be handled with care. We've notified the right teams internally and will work with the customer directly on matters related to their package delivery.”

As we reported ... a similarly disgusting incident went down this week at a grocery store in Pennsylvania, when a woman allegedly coughed all over the fresh produce, forcing the supermarket to throw it all out and do a major disinfecting.

Federal law enforcement's said terrorism charges may be on the table for people who intentionally spread COVID-19.

Getting deliveries? Here’s how to open them to prevent the spread of the coronavirus

Amazon and other companies have ramped up delivery as stores close nationwide. (Source: Amazon Facebook page)
By Nick Picht | March 20, 2020 at 7:39 PM EDT - Updated March 22 at 6:40 PM
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Friday, the United States Postal Office on Gardiner Lane in Louisville announced its first case of the coronavirus.
With that in mind, packages may have come in contact with someone who’s been exposed before arriving at the front door. The same goes with food deliveries, because with restaurants closed, thousands are now relying on having meals brought to them.
With that in mind, packages may have come in contact with someone who’s been exposed before arriving at the front door.
Here are some precautions from The Huffington Post for opening any type of package safely:
- Make sure items are left at the door. A lot of delivery services do this anyway, but it can’t hurt to make sure. When ordering online, write it in the special instructions.
- Ask the delivery person to leave the package and knock, so he can leave before the package is retrieved. That’s good social distancing!
- According to an article from The National Institutes of Health, the coronavirus can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours. That said, opening a package while it’s still on the doorstep may prevent the virus from spreading inside the house.

- If brought inside, limit the number of surfaces the boxes touch.
- Use gloves if possible, and take whatever it is out of the box, wipe it down and get rid of the box immediately after.
- Wipe down surfaces the items and boxes touched with something that contains at least 70 percent isopropyl alcohol.
- When finished, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.

Can You Get Coronavirus From Packages and Mail?

Elliot Frank, M.D. contributes to topics such as Infectious Disease.
The increasing amount of information that is being made public about warehouse workers at large e-commerce companies testing positive for COVID-19 is unnerving. In addition to those working in the warehouses, you are left to wonder about the delivery workers who are physically bringing your packages to your doorstep.
A recent study has also found that coronavirus can live on cardboard up to 24 hours. So – are those boxes putting you at risk for being exposed to COVID-19?
Likelihood of Getting COVID-19 from Packages
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the risks of transmission of coronavirus from a package is very low, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible,” says Elliot Frank, M.D., an infectious disease specialist and medical director of quality and outcomes at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. “This is because the virus is generally thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets that are transmitted by sneezing and coughing.”
It’s also reassuring to remember that packages usually are shipped over a period of days or weeks and it’s not likely that the virus would survive on them if exposed in the warehouse. The risk more so arises between pickup by the delivery person, drop off at the home and thereafter.
“Even if your delivery person or mail carrier isn’t experiencing symptoms, they still may be carrying the virus and unknowingly spreading bacteria,” Dr. Frank adds. “If you’re touching items that someone else has recently handled, be aware of possible contamination and take preventative measures to protect yourself and your family.”
Follow these steps to safely manage packages and mail upon drop-off:

1. Avoid direct contact with the delivery person
2. Leave the package outside for a few hours and/or spray it with aerosol disinfectant before handling
3. Dispose of all outer packaging immediately
4. Wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds or more
5. Disinfect any high-touch surfaces you had contact with after handling
6. Avoid touching your face, including your mouth, eyes and nose

Is there information about transmission through other surfaces?
In addition to survivability on cardboard, the study also found that COVID-19 is detectable on the following for an extended period, but this may vary under different conditions such as temperature or humidity of the environment:

• Air: 3 hours
• Copper: 4 hours
• Stainless steel: 2-3 days
• Plastic: 3 days

As we continue to learn more about transmission, it’s important to continue to follow the CDC’s recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces and objects daily, such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops and cabinet handles, as well as continuing with proper hand hygiene.

Can you contract coronavirus from delivery packages? Here's what experts are saying
The surge in deliveries as millions of Americans shelter in place has led to questions about whether coronavirus can be spread by delivery packages.

The need for fast and sanitary deliveries has never been higher with more than 80 million Americans ordered to shelter at home to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The surge in deliveries, including more food deliveries as restaurants are closed across the country, has led to the question of whether people can contract COVID-19 from packages.

NBC consumer and investigative correspondent Vicky Nguyen provided some answers from health officials and leading delivery companies on TODAY Monday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the chances of getting coronavirus from delivered packages is likely very low.




Amazon needs to assure customers packages are safe, Stephanie Ruhle says
MARCH 23, 202002:03

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week found the virus was detectable for up to 24 hours on cardboard compared to 72 hours on plastic and stainless steel. Researchers said no COVID-19 cases have been linked to contact with packages.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced Saturday that the company is taking increased safety measures to protect employees and the company's 100 million customers from COVID-19 exposure.
"We’ve implemented a series of preventative health measures for employees and contractors at our sites around the world — everything from increasing the frequency and intensity of cleaning to adjusting our practices in fulfillment centers to ensure the recommended social distancing guidelines,'' Bezos wrote in an open letter on Amazon's blog.
He also announced the company is hiring 100,000 additional employees, raising wages for hourly workers, ordering millions of protective face masks and offering any employee who tests positive for COVID-19 to have two weeks paid leave.

However, workers at some of the country's top delivery companies have indicated that procedures may need improvement to keep everyone save from the illness.
"There's no cleanliness at all, but we're essential,'' Philadelphia UPS worker Richard Hooker said. "No soap, no hand sanitizer."
UPS said in a statement to NBC News that it has been disinfecting its facilities and vehicles daily, providing sanitizing supplies to all drivers and telling sick employees to stay home. Similar policies have also been in effect at FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service.
UPS and FedEx have also stopped requiring in-person signatures for most package deliveries to follow social distancing guidelines.
Large grocery stores like Walmart and Target are also now offering customers the option of ordering online and then picking up their bags at the curb instead of having to go into the store

Can the coronavirus spread through the mail?
BY KATE GIBSON
UPDATED ON: MARCH 18, 2020 / 4:59 PM / MONEYWATCH



Reports of postal workers testing positive for the novel coronavirus have raised concerns that the pathogen could live on letters and packages, potentially exposing people to infection just from opening their mail or Amazon packages. The U.S Postal Service's response: Don't worry about it.


"There is currently no evidence that COVID-19 can spread through the mail," the postal service said last weekend, alluding to the disease caused by the virus and citing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization as its sources of information.

The federal agency, which employs about 500,000 people, is heeding recommendations from the CDC and public health departments, it added.

MORE IN CORONAVIRUS: THE RACE TO RESPOND
"The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, traveled and exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low," according to WHO.

"In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures," according to the CDC. "Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with imported goods."


One postal worker in Raleigh, Virginia, two USPS employees in White Plains, New York, and a worker at a USPS package-sorting facility outside of Seattle have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus. USPS also said it is aware of an employee in New Orleans who may have contracted COVID-19.

But the "incident is not mail-related, and it has not been confirmed by the local public-health department," a spokesperson for the USPS' Dallas and Louisiana districts said Saturday in a statement.

That incident involved a USPS facility that employs letter carriers and clerks, and that has a retail counter and service window for customers, along with a P.O. box section where people can get their mail. "At this time, we believe the risk is low for both our employees and customers as a result of this unconfirmed case," the USPS said.

Fear of getting the coronavirus had residents at one senior living community in Oak Park, Illinois, reportedly avoiding their mail last week because the mail carrier refused to be questioned and take a temperature check.


"The Postal Service recognizes that some customers have expressed concerns about accepting mail, and a few have asked for unusual measures for deliveries. Our operational protocol does not require any Postal Service employee to follow requests outside of normal delivery methods," the service told the Chicago Tribune.


The virus has led other companies that handle lots of packages to try to ease customer concerns. Amazon notes that Prime Now, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market delivery customers can pick "unattended delivery" during checkout if they'd rather not come into contact with others.

And to protect customers and workers, FedEx has temporarily suspended the need for a signature for most deliveries in the U.S. The shipping giant also regularly disinfects the equipment used to make deliveries, according to FedEx President Raj Subramaniam.

UPS drivers are now validating and recording the name of the recipient of the package in lieu of getting a signature, the shipper said in a statement on Monday.

Reiterating that the CDC and WHO view the likelihood of the a coronavirus contaminating cardboard or other shipping containers as low, UPS added in an email to CBS on Wednesday: "If there is a concern, disinfecting the shipment or using protective apparel when unwrapping the container will reduce the risk of exposure.

The US is “four or five years” behind China when it comes to home delivery. This is bad news for locked-down cities.
