Junk mail should be banned during conservavirus pandemic

As long as public events like the Reds' Opening Day parade are canceled, junk mail should be banned too.

Junk mail is no less a carrier of viruses than anything else is. Postal customers have long been forced to subsidize junk mail, even as it clogs the postal system and creates fire hazards. Conservavirus may be able to stay on items for a long time. Junk mail is often hoarded because it might contain a 5-cent Rax coupon that expired in 1987. So halting junk mail can certainly reduce the spread of the latest virus.

This is another common sense step that will be ignored.
