Dettol seems to kill it (ok was not tested on this specific corona string) so drown the package in that and pray the brush will survive dettol.

Just Media hype. The chances of you dying of the common cold is exactly the same, as has been pointed out by doctors.
Think about it: about 310 confirmed deaths in China - that's literally nothing in a country of a billion people. I bet the death rate by traffic accidents is higher for the same time span.
Enjoy our brush.

The problem with virus infections they do not behave linear but more exponential. Meaning on a global scale it is still nothing. But if growth accumulates you might be surprised what it does in a couple of weeks or months.

Actually the interesting thing about coronaviruses is that they have a thick lipid outer coating that allows them to survive on surfaces much longer than other viruses. However the lipids deteriorate moderate heat, which then allows the RNA to oxidize. This is why colds are more common in the winter time. If we can make it to the summer without this thing going exponential we should be fine.

If you catch the virus from your shave brush... it’s simply your time to go.
I think you’re going to be fine.

Years ago (well,decades) I interned for a major bank where one of my duties was to open mail from international customers. Shortly after, I developed the nastiest infection on my face (watery blisters that itched constantly). Don’t discount what you can pick up from mail. Not to say it will happen but be cautious.
Those come from China too...lolI'm sticking with synthetics.

I can’t help but think that chances are pretty high we’ve all bought something recently that came from China after the ”outbreak” started. So many products come from China, it’s essentially unavoidable.
If you are worried about the brush wash it with an antibacterial soap for a few minutes before using it.

I know!
lolI was referring to the article I put the link to about natural hair brushes.
The last two I received from China in December were washed and lathered several times and finally dipped in oxiclean due to funkiness. Disinfected by accident I guess
Wonderful, So all of your mail is guaranteed to be lost or delayed in the afterlife, too. Just can't catch a break. Lol.
Remove it with gloves, wipe the handle down with rubbing alcohol and give the knot a good dunking in a solution of warm water with vinegar. that should disinfect it.
