Reading the posts about take out and such, Im asking myself WHY risk it? If its about supporting the business, send em a 20 in the mail.
Why go out around people when its not needed?
Its probably just me since ive not had any restaurant food in like 6-7 years if you discount hospital food.
STOP POTATO HATE!

I see commercials on TV now from Little Caesar's, Papa Johns & Domino's saying they never touch the "Pizza" after it comes out of the oven... then show them scooping them into a box.... But they don't say is whether or not the guy putting the boxes together is wearing gloves ???

No not really, every time I try to post a pic to make a point the mods yank it, if you had the lung issues I had you would feel the same as well. I could post pics of whats came from my lungs and youd not eat for the day. I live way out and love to cook and also think the food joints are overpriced, esp in the last few years of equal pay for simple work. This event seems to have validated the germ-a-phobe's entire mindset.
STOP POTATO HATE!

No worries here. My wife went through the Panera drive thru yesterday...food was bagged, served on a tray, by someone wearing gloves. Brought it home, set it on top of the stove. Tore open the bag, washed her hands, removed the food, threw the bag away, washed her hands again, ate her food. A little more effort, but a nice change of pace from making stuff at home. We did something similar with the pizza we got for our older daughter, and the takeout we got for me and my younger daughter. Lysol'd the steering wheels, gear shifts, door handles, etc...of both cars after we ate.
Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.

Yep, it's you. Like Doc said, it's a gamble no matter what, just the odds are higher right now. And the paranoia. I'm sure someone soon will make that claim they'd gotten it from take-out.

It's not just about the business...it's about the folks that work there. I live in a little town(2000). One watering hole. The guy that owns it is a great guy and he treats his help good. I could just mail him a $20 but I'm pretty sure he'll be fine....but he has a couple gals that work for him...it's their ONLY job. Those are the folks that will be impacted by this. I got Tacos on Weds and fish sandwiches on Friday.....I tipped them very well! Not worried at all.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. My immune system started being built up the day I was born. Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna start licking toilet bowls or any thing like that, but I'm not gonna pull the hole in on myself either just because there is a cold or flu virus going around.

You're missing the point here. This is a new virus and there is no immunity to it for anyone. And it's contagious for an average 5 days before symptoms, that is how it managed to spread so fast. Not only that, it is quite a bit more lethal than a "flu virus". Once there is a vaccine and everyone gets it, then you can brag about your immune system. In the meantime, don't underestimate the lethality. See: Italy, Spain, NYC.
