    are you guys going to the grocery store to get your food or you have other alternatives like online>delivery ??

    I feel this is the worst place to go at the moment because everyone is going there and touch everything and with the restaurants shutdown, there's a huge peak in customers at the grocery stores, i've read an article about this yesterday.

    My ride in the subway is pretty safe, there's an estimate of 70% less people, i have no problem being at 5-6' from everyone. At my job, i work alone in a room, pretty safe there too. So yeah, i feel the grocery store is where I have the potential to catch that thing.
