There are more surfaces and people in the grocery store. Delivery people fill the orders when the store is empty. Delivery is less contact with others.

Oh and I stocked up on groceries last week so I'm not doing any shopping. I'm good for another 2+ weeks at least (though bread is in short supply, but I'm not going to a store just for bread, I plan to bake biscuits instead). I do get a vegetable delivery from Hungry Harvest, but it's already delayed and they're out of 2 of the things in my order--so I'm not sure how reliable they're going to be longterm. Not knocking them, they've had a huge increase in demand AND the supply chain is screwy. They're doing the best they can, but I used to be able to get eggs and bread from them in addition to produce and that's a lost cause now just like everywhere else.
I have to think that at some point, the demand for online grocery delivery and in-store panic buying will subside since people are already stocked up now.
We do the same but use playgrounds when they are empty. What’s the rationale not to use them? Is that the fear that the virus lives on the surface?

We are not leaving our property. We are using Amazon Prime and Instacart to have food and toiletries delivered. We do not take the packages into our house. We open boxes/bags next to the front door, wipe down each thing we take out, put as much packaging as we can back into the box/bag and put the box/bag into the big trash cans kept outside.
DH and I take this very seriously, and are frustrated that others don't.
I like that you have complaint time
Fun for the delivery people! I hope they can bear your virus! You don’t understand how this works and you sound insane.
