uh, old and sick people are already quarantined. Many without much food and TP and other needed items. Many can’t afford food delivery and if they do have family, they are staying away for this crisis and many stay away all the time.
I just ordered a food delivery for my cousin who is a nurse working at NYU. She says her whole floor has been converted for COVID-19 patients and in the next day the whole hospital building will be converted. She is worried about shopping on her off time because she is considered high risk. The next food delivery I was able to arrange was Thu from Foodtown/Instacart to Jersey City where she lives.
When I started inputting her list earliest delivery was today, then Tuesday and as I checked out Thursday.
The other stores that deliver to her area were at Thursday when I first looked. The delivery & grocery pickers are going to be a bottleneck.
