Quoted from lancestorm:It's another set of hands touching your food + bags vs interacting near other people going your own. Both are a gamble.
Far less of a gamble than going inside the store and shopping.

Quoted from jp1985:I agree. They are saying they have found the virus in the air ducts within hospitals. I don’t think grocery stores have the best hvac system.
Well I'm mainly talking about just to keep from having to be around people. This shit has made me not even want to get near anyone.
Quoted from jlm33:To be honest, risk is minimal if you take basic precautions: wash your hands after accepting delivery, remove wrappings if any and discard them immediately - don't keep them in your kitchen (and wash your hands again !)
If possible have a sufficient supply of fruits and vegetables so that you can leave them for a few days in you cellar. The virus is very, very unlikely to survive many days at the surface of a fruit or vegetable. Wash them before using them (bleach is NOT recommended !)... and wash your hands again.
And... giving a tip to the delivery person won't hurt. He (she) is taking a greater risk.
We set up a table in the garage and we just leave the groceries out there for a week or maybe even longer before we bring them in and anything that we do bring in that we have to refrigerate or freeze we wipe them off with the bleach wipes. Same with mail, I spray it with lysol and leave it in the garage until the next day.
Quoted from jp1985:"The next two weeks are extraordinarily important," said Birx. "This is the moment to not be going to the grocery store, not going to the pharmacy, but doing everything you can to keep your family and your friends safe and that means everybody doing the six-feet distancing, washing their hands."

I think it's safe to go to the grocery if you do curbside pickup.
Quoted from PinballNewb:For adults, eat a spoonful of peanut butter. Works every time and eating a spoonful of PB is just awesome anyway.
Just finished up my weekly store venture earlier. I may look into delivery going forward, but much prefer getting my own stuff.
Delivery is much safer. I cant find any mask anywhere so if never go in a crowded store. I did go into a dollar store today but there was only a couple of people in there. I zipped in and right back out as quick as I could.
