...he can continue his life as a waiter at the best steakhouse in town as he handles everyone’s food....

This is what I’ve been wondering about, with EVERY restaurant going to either drive-thru, curb side, or delivery....

Who or what is to say that this food is safe? How do we know an infected person (I imagine at the larger chains, hopefully, they’re masked/gloved while cooking, but who knows?) didn’t prepare the food and....that the food they serve is safe, and not infected?

Have I missed something, about this?

It was a beautiful day today wasn’t it? Even now, there’s a pleasant breeze going. Grateful for spring.

Cell phones are one of the most efficient ways to spread the virus.

When people use their cell phones in public, fomites from other people gather on the screen.

And then the people put the cell phone to their ear....

[Vermont Lt]

It dropped 9.75%. Sorry, I missed the “dropped.”

I imagine that might correlate somewhat. There are 1.4 billion cell phones in China. A drop of almost 10% would reflect no revenues from 10 million customers.

[Black Agnes]

You can’t.

The bag, styrofoam/cardboard, napkins, receipt, etc.

Have to assume all are contaminated.

If the food is at less than the viral kill temp...assume that’s contaminated as well.

[BusterDog]

“Who or what is to say that this food is safe?”

I think cooking will kill the virus. But what about the salad? And the packaging?

[datura]

Thank you. Wow....

This represents exactly a 31.3751552002317% daily increase.

At this daily rate, the number of confirmed cases will double every 2.55 days.

However, today is not over. So any additional cases today will lower the that doubling number a bit. So you see, we're really in agreement, within a minor margin of error.

[Vermont Lt]

Not to sound too dreary...but I think that ship has sailed.

[ncalburt]

True .
Who is tested employees making and handing out ?
No one .
Gov Desantis was shocked when he learned no one was being tested .

Does anyone at these overpaid Gov Offices watch what Hong Kong has been doing ?
Every employee vitals are tested every
day !

[scouter]

I was

I didn't mean to imply that you weren't. I was only offering the statistics I've been keeping, too. And as per my last post, it looks like we're in agreement.

[Vermont Lt]

At least they spelled martial law right.

[grey_whiskers]

[Vermont Lt]

Were #1...we’re #1...cough, cough.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Just shut down the borders and int’l flights, period.

[EarlyBird]

Data from China shows

I stopped reading right there...

[PA Engineer]

Have I missed something, about this?

I have thought the same. The only safe delivery I can think of is food that can be rewarmed above 150F for 15 minutes in the oven. Food like pizza.

That still requires unpacking with gloves, safe disposal of the gloves, packing and then hand washing.

[ncalburt]

Which ship ?
So many are sailing .

[ncalburt]

I agree
