Shitty as it sounds, it’s probably the socially responsible thing to have 1 delivery person (who is going in there anyway), shop for say 10 people, then deliver for 10 people (and be able to pay their bills in return), then have 11 people (the delivery person still has to go get groceries for herself), some of whom…

Just in case you didn’t know, the Chinese government reported the virus to the WHO within a few days after it was first reported by their doctors. The doctor in question was reprimanded for posting about it on wechat - Chinese social media. The equivalent of a doctor here posting patient information on facebook who…

it’s not closing the barn after the horses are out - because presumably the people not physically distancing are NOT the ones trying to sanitize things. That OTHER people are not keeping safe, does not affect whether you can keep yourself safe.

On the one hand you have people saying Masks are only meant to keep the virus in, not out.

Would adding
“Wipe down box with sanitizing wipe” to your 6 step process be any harder? And the more layers of defense you have the less likely any infection virus particles will sneak throughh.

How is wiping down the box ONCE before you bring it into the house (needing only one person to follow the procedure), the more elaborate procedure vs. expecting everyone to wash their hands after grabbing the box and pouring out crackers every single time.

It’s not necessarily cheaper if office leases still have to be paid (you’re basically just saving a bit on electricity costs and coffee/snacks at that point). And the problem is car plants being shut down hence no income for the company, hence no money - with the options being either lay everyone off, or stretch what…

Everywhere I’ve seen does track recoveries. The google map, at least, does (I think the John Hopkins one those too”):

I think there’s two things to keep in mind.

Nothing’s perfect, but it doesn’t have to be to be worth doing.

I think immuno-compromised is covered. As well as pregnant women. At least it is at my local Vons.

And no, from your post it’s not “fuck the non-elderly immunocompromised” but “fuck the rude assholes”.

The Vons near me includes immunocompromised and other at risk populations in. I think that the headline just refers to them as “senior” shopping hours as shorthhand - but the actual policies cover that (or will if you ask).

I mean an hour is an hour, whether it’s between 6:30 and 6:30, or 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., should not really make a difference.

Sorry, sounds like a difficult time. That said, in the long-run you guys should be fine, if your wife’s doing her medical internship.

But they will, everyone will fill the effects.

I’m Canadian as well. But working in the U.S. atm.

but at the same time, if noone goes to get the cruller - that donut shop will close down. 

Well actually, publicly funded healthcare realllyy matters when you don’t have any income.

Part of the pre-emptive concern is that your state only has “11-20 confirmed cases”, probably because they’ve only managed to test “11-20" people. When there’s such woefully undertesting, while all signs point to there being far more people infected - everyone just has to assume the worst.
