Most articles just say "disinfectant" or "chemicals" but some mention bleach specifically.
There was one video of a guy in a hazmat suit using a modified Stihl leaf blower to "disinfect" an office with people working in it. The people working put their heads down and tried to cover their mouths as they were sprayed with whatever.

Got mine yesterday, wiped down the outside of the box with lysol wipes but got lazy and didn't wipe the inside contents. I figured since DHL packaged the product and it was air tight sealed, it's fine?

You don't think the items inside the box were handled by somebody other than DHL before they were shipped?
Even still, you don't think DHL employees over there are just as susceptible as the rest of the population?
Just saying, lol. I didn't take any precautions at all with the shipment I got yesterday but I think your logic is flawed.

I wouldn’t worry to much. I’ve had about 8 packages arrive already, all from different parts in China.
This “virus” is a cold for most people. Yes some people can become very sick but it’s no different than any other cold, for the most part. Unless you don’t take care of yourself ..... it’s really not that big of a deal.
