For those of you still doing takeout/delivery, are you at all concerned about exposure to the virus? Between making your food, delivering it/others’ etc. you cannot really know where people have been

I think it really depends. I have a long list of restaurants we frequent in DC who I trust more than say, anyone delivering packages to my house. I will do takeout from them, and pick up the food myself (all are practicing amazing social distancing) - no middle man with a delivery person.

Beyond that, we will cook at home for the time being.

Good on you, the restaurants I have seen w pickups near me have packed entrances and no social distancing 😣

Is it safer than making your food at home? No. Is it a small enough risk that it's worth supporting small business? In my opinion, yes.

I feel like that is a really slippery slope especially given the other small businesses that have been forced to close

My building stopped letting delivery people coming in beyond the lobby, they have to leave it on the table for you to pickup.

I unpack everything and then wash my bands and then use my own utensils.

Did some research, food is not a known transmitter of covid, it’s not a food borne disease.

I mean, some one is touching the food and packaging at the grocery stores as well no? Same amount of risk to me.

Don't get it delivered, go and get it yourself and sanitize the packaging

This is what we do. Wipe down every box/package and then purell our hands, and then wash as soon as we get home.

No, I am worried about all of the small restaurants and diners I enjoy going out of business and society as a whole being demolished after this though.

I wash and sanitize my hands after going out to pick up food and I’m staying indoors rest of time. I’ll take that risk to support small businesses.

Not risking it in our family. What if some sick worker coughs on your breadsticks? Pass. If our dumb, careless and greedy country maybe tested its populous and isolated people who test positive (like smart countries have done), I’d be all for it, but basic logic, science and action has been on hold here for years now.

Yes home cooked or frozen meals is the only option. Takeout is major risk bro.

No more delivery or takeout for me

Yes agree. I don’t even know if I want to amazon anything or shop online. I might just wear gloves while opening my packages (and to the grocery store) and sanitize before using

Depending where you are, you can donate to small businesses some of the money you might have spent to help keep them paying their staff. And still make your own food.

How revolutionary. I can donate money and opt to cook for myself? Director 1 should get a medal for informing the fish fam
