I really wouldn't bother about this. As pointed out back in #13, you catch viruses from infected people, or from objects that infected people have recently touched or sneezed on. You don't catch viruses from electronic components that have been posted across the world.

Some people really do need to get a grip. My local paper is quoting a vox pop from a resident of Brize Norton village, who is vowing to quarantine herself and her family for the next two months because the UK evacuation 747 has landed at BZ. This is hardly the zombie apocalypse.
