I just received my metal weed pipe from China on the slow-boat, and of course utilized it. What are my chances of having coronavirus?

It was handled by the vendor, China Post, customs (both points, sharing the love), USPS, and finally to me....and everyone who those handlers have came in contact with.  Just imagine those handling my water pipe, and after that my hygrometer.

    How long does a virus live outside the body, I wonder myself.  They are spraying the sidewalks and outside of buildings for some reason.

    I think there is a very good chance of you catching the coronavirus from the pipe from China so you should throw it away and buy another one that is made in your Country. Actually there is probably little chance of you catching the coronavirus from the pipe so happy hooting. Thought I would do some bragging and say - today I worked for one of my grounds keeping customers that pays me in bud and she gave me almost 2 ounces of good bud for 6 hours work. So I'm pretty happy with that and I'm thinking of smoking some of it in my self sucking bong this weekend. I made the bong and I used a electric breast pump to get it to do the sucking  for me - it works pretty good but it  makes a clicking sound ever few seconds so it gets annoying after awhile. Cheers!

    It's more likely to have faecal matter on it, imagine all those people who scratch their arse, or don't wash their hands after the toilet? Can you catch the virus from that do you think? And on that note...enjoy your smoke.

    Did you avoid touching your new pipe until you had sterilised it in boiling water?

    If it came from a region of China outside the infection zone you'll be alright, no chance of Corona.

    If it came from within and you didn't sterilise, there is a chance.
    An object can transmit the virus if it's carrying the droplets of breath from an infectious person.

    Roughly 1% of people die from the disease. Most recover.
    If you develop any mild cold-like symptoms, keep your hands clean, wear a mask, 
    and get yourself tested at a local hospital.
    Keep yourself quarantined until the results come back.
    If it's positive, they will give you instructions. This post was edited by inky at March 1, 2020 12:32 PM MST

    Pretty close to zero, Coronavirus is air vectored. If you have Coronavirus, that's not how you got it. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at February 29, 2020 8:24 AM MST

    You might get it, but you probably won't care.

  • It has been my experience that one should always be careful what one puts in one's mouth.
