Re: grocery stores as vectors
Back in the 1980s, I had worked out details of a plan for curbside delivery of groceries to busy shoppers who called ahead. The family I did that for never found the funds to open their grocery store.
Over the past 5 years, we’ve seen several major stores roll out curbside/“will call” type shopping experiences.
And just the other day, POTUS asked Target & other big retailers to host drive through Covid-19 testing locations In their parking lot.
It seems to me that the retailers in that group who also sell groceries (& other necessities) would be doing a good thing to introduce or expand existing curbside services. It would minimize disease vectors by maximizing the social distancing between shoppers. Especially if curbside service is the only option...
Inconvenient? Sure. But less so than contributing to the spread of the pandemic. It shouldn’t be any worse than the gas lines of the 1970s.
