Depending on how it was prepared/packaged, sure. That said, I'm not knowledgeable enough about virii to know what *specifically* it would take for that varicella virus to be sent through the mail and survive.

Here's my other question: How does my hairdresser make a living, working noon-6 and not on Saturdays?

I can't remember the details, but my understanding it that it was in solidarity with another strike.
In Seattle. Which, okay, but... do the folks in Seattle care about people striking in Oakland? Probably not.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How does my hairdresser make a living, working noon-6 and not on Saturdays?
le nubian was probably joking, but she's right. The hairdresser has a side-business of servicing customers out of her home, cutting out the salon owner as a middleman.

Judging from my ex-boss, Exempt employees go and get their hair cut in the middle of the day or whenever they like. "I'm off to get my hair cut," she'd say breezily and waltz out at 3pm.
(I realize most Exempt manager types wind up working way more than 40+ hours a week, but that was not how she was finessing the system.)

Hair theft is actually a big thing, apparently. There was also a bunch of feather shortages this summer - I read an article about fly fisherman not able to fish because of that hair fad. (Do I have a cite? Nope. Bad librarian.)

a whole bunch of union members lost pay that day because they couldn't work.
The local ILWU supported the strike, and their contracts say they don't have to cross community picket lines. That is why the port was a focus.
Richard Washington, a longshoreman who refused work today, told Truthout about his intentions. "This wasn't ordered or suggested by the union leaders, the rank and file workers decided to not work today in support of Occupy Oakland. I am one of the longshoremen who did not take a job. The majority of the longshoremen at the hiring hall this morning decided not to take jobs. For the most part it was longshoremen walking off in solidarity with the general strike," adding "tonight, there will be a picket line and I don't think any longshoremen will cross the picket line."

I recently got a bookmark with a feather in it. Arthur now has the feather, but I still have the bookmark.
