Chinese take out delivery now as the delivery guy in the parking lot - he has the food on the front of his delivery vehicle - you approach, he backs away, you take the food. On the bag are the names of the guy that delivered the food and the guy that cooked it along with both of their temperatures.

Some of the biggest losing industries from this will be anything involving an audience - movies, sporting events, performances - and travel.

How long before we trust surfaces in aircraft, or the cleanliness of a motel room again?

How about that restaurant food? Fast food? Who touched it or breathed over it during preparation????

Taxis??? Lots of spread involving taxis. That is where NYC and much of the east coast will have issues, out west only in big cities.

I know I’ve got 3rd row seats for Shen Yun, and we aren’t going. Been waiting years to see that.

It will be interesting to see what industries flourish and which wither away now. Obviously medical will do well, and groceries- we as a nation will tend to stay home a lot more now.

80% of our grocery shopping is done via Walmart order online and pick up outside the store. Safeway and Raley/Nob Hill have the same online opportunity. Costco has two delivery systems and soon will be like Walmart, and we are signed up for their test market when it comes.

What is interesting, is when we go online to Walmart, Costco or Home Depot, Amazon prime comes on the upper right hand corner of my Chromepri Book with a pic of what we are looking at in the other stores and Amazon’s Prime Price. With one product, Walmart lowered its price to beat Amazon, so I added it to my Walmart cart for my next order at the better price.

Amazon Prime is great for regular and special needs.

In summary, this virus may speed up our changes in how we buy and/or shop.

Besides the Chinese takeout, we will have Mexican, fast food choices and premium dining services at our front or side doors.
