- While we're in lockdown a lot of us are getting
essentials delivered to our apartments.
With this video I'm gonna show you some of my
favorite ways to open a package without getting the virus
and hopefully I'll get a viral video instead.
Try burning the virus off.
(harp strumming)
(flames roaring)
With a few household items you can make a spear
to stab the box open, so you don't have to touch it.
(harp strumming)
How about just shaking the virus off.
(box crashing)
What if I put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 300 degrees
and I just bake the virus off like this?
(oven roaring)
Time to sit back and watch the likes roll in.
You can make a spear to stab the box open
so you don't have to touch it.
Um, excuse me.
Okay, stop, I worked very hard on this
and I'm really not appreciating the tone of these comments.
Maybe it's time for some professional help.
Someone like Dr. Jeff Van Wingen.
His own video about how to safely bring groceries indoors
was a huge viral hit.
- I'm gonna help you reduce your risk.
- Welcome Dr. Jeff.
- Hey, it's a pleasure coming together
to help people with you.
- Dr. Jeff, you seem like the perfect person
to talk to for this project.
- Thank you I'm a doctor.
- Oh, I meant that you had 25 million views on YouTube.
(laughs) That is so cool.
So, how do I get these boxes inside
without contracting corona?
- Well, Jaboukie you've given this a lot of thought,
but really I think you and I can simplify things.
The worst case scenario is 24 hours on cardboard.
So let's use that logic here.
You could leave your package on your doorstep
for a day.
- (Stammers) 24-hours?
(buzzer buzzes)
Dr. Jeff I cannot go 24-hours without my mushroom La Croix
and my kombucha ice cream.
The kombucha ice cream is gonna melt.
What I'm supposed to lick it off the ground
like an animal?
- Look Jaboukie, there's just a few easy steps
that we can take to make this really air tight.
Imagine there's a little bit of glitter
on those packages when you bring them into your house.
And time degrades that glitter
and soap degrades that glitter.
- Totally Dr. Jeff we need glitter.
I think it's important that we show that we could
still be ourselves and like live our lives
and like be happy.
- At the end of this you don't want to bring any
of that glitter up to your face.
- Yeah.
(buzzer buzzes)
That's probably right.
- I sense a lot of stress Jaboukie.
Just do the best you can.
If you can be good about to touching your face, you're good.
- And that's when wearing protection on your face
can also help right?
- And when you wear a mask you're putting out there
that you're doing your job to protect other people.
- That's why I got this mask.
Is like where can corona even get in?
- Let me run that one by the Centers for Disease Control.
- Could you?
I would love for them to support this.
What about hand protection?
(harp strumming)
Is that good?
- Not a big fan of gloves because as you take those
gloves off, you might give yourself more risk.
- All right, Dr. Jeff,
you don't get fashion and that's fine.
But there's no harm in bringing in packages
when you have the right protective gear.
And I have a delivery of four-ply toilet paper
waiting right outside my door.
(box crashing)
(beep)
(door shutting)
(handle jiggling)
(groans)
- Probably not recommended.
As you bring in packages, don't be afraid to handle
them with your hands, but once you do
dump the contents out andthen wash your hands.
That's all it takes.
- So all I have to do to go viral
and protect myself from the virus is wash my hands?
- Well in a sense.
- That's genius Dr. Jeff.
Thanks for all your help.
I bet you can't wait to release more safety videos.
- No way, I'm really looking forward to socially
undistancing with my fellow man.
- Me too, Dr. Jeff, me too.
Okay, now I gotta go make my own hand washing video,
Jaboukie style.
(piano music)
(water running)
Hey, check out those views.
Who's the doctor now, Dr. Jeff?
