“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...”
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.
there are maybe 6 stories no related to the virus.
yes virginia, the world has changed.
wearing a seat belt is still a 50-50 chance of survival
