Stores are not a safe place for anyone of any age. Defeats the whole purpose of shutting down other businesses. Customers should shop for ESSENTIALS only. Otherwise, stay home and this virus will fizzle and we can all get back to life as usual.
I’ll say. No more new running shoes, dress shirts, bedsheets, blankets or towels until this is over. Just some food and drugs. In and out quick as possible.
COVID also infiltrated the campus where I work - not my building, yet. So I’ll be teleworking from home, soon. No more commute. Yaaaaaay!
I’m not getting the grocery store thing, other than allowing plebs to stock up on FOOD/essentials.
It does seem like infection, at stores, would be possible from air, fomites, person next to you, in aisle sneezing/coughing, etc.
The last time I was in a grocery store (several weeks ago) I could hear someone on the next aisle coughing....so, I held my breath and got the heck out of there, in the opposite direction.
