I still wear a mask in public, wash my hands frequently and disinfect my groceries and packages. While the probability of contracting the virus from a package is low, it's not zero. These practices are a little inconvenient but they help reduce the risk for you and others.
Think about this. If you stay safe, you also help protect your family. My daughter had a baby a little over a month ago. Her doctor recommended that she and her husband remain completely quarantined / isolated for the first month. No visitors in the house, including family. In order for us to go into the house just to hold our new grandson, my wife and I had to quarantine ourselves for at least two weeks. Which we did. Well worth the effort to make sure our kids and new grandson would remain healthy. During this same period, my mother passed away. We couldn't even hold a funeral for her.
When you decide not to follow CDC and WHO recommendations, you affect more than yourself. The life you save may just be someone in your family.
