There is apparently an active case of Ebola in Honolulu right now.
Unfortunately, my luggage went international without me and flew onto other connecting flights to Minneapolis and ultimately arrived in Toronto. I tracked it down and my luggage was re-routed through Buffalo, New York back to Minneapolis and onto Los Angeles.
A hired courier service just arrived with my luggage.
I told the guy, "My luggage went international, so I hope it doesn't have Ebola."
I thought he would just laugh, but no. This delivery stuff is serious right now.
"I hope it doesn't have Ebola either, because it's been in my car," he said. He was a young guy in his 30s and he looked concerned.
I told him to clean the inside of his car and his steering wheel with Clorox. He said he already has alcohol based hand sanitizer in his car but he'd clean when his runs were done tonight, too.
Clearly, Ebola is part of the workplace discussion for airline couriers and outside delivery services.
Once I had my luggage, I wiped down the outside of it and the zipper with Pure Green 24 and Clorox (those companies must love me by now) and then I dumped out the contents into the laundry. I gave it a second good wiping down before I stowed my luggage in the garage.
Neither the delivery guy nor I know exactly where my luggage has been over the last two days or who has touched it, sneezed on it or coughed on it.
As I've said before... be proactive and clean even if you think it's silly. Your health depends on it until this growing epidemic is solved.
