I have a question. Lotsa people are ordering takeout or using drive thrus...even taking it to nursing homes for their elders (some in our family) Doesn’t anyone question the safety of that...from packaging, to the food itself, ie salads, bakery, etc.)?
At some point we have to accept a certain amount of risk. I think for the most part the process is sanitary and safe considering disposable packaging is used.

I question it, but still do it once a week. If I’m going inside a store I wear a mask, goggles and gloves. I am not “afraid” - but I take it seriously.
My view of ordering takeout is that the exposure of the food/packaging is limited to one or two people cooking it and bringing it out to the car.
I try to only order hot food (cooked food is hot enough to destroy the virus), although tonight’s dinner came with a salad.
Our weekly “night-out” is now take out at small local restaurants to try to help them out.
I view my typical precautions as wearing a seat belt. I don’t put on my seat belt because I’m afraid - I just use it to be prudent. In my mind (and I might be wrong) but the one night of take out is comparable to driving down the block to our neighbor’s house without buckling up.
