I live alone in and have no relatives and no friends, so I need to go shopping but I am scared to go. Do you think it is safe for me to go shopping at the supermarket now?
I need to shop for groceries but I am afraid of catching COVID-19 virus, am I being irrational?
I am a vegetarian male live alone in Chicago. I usually shop every other week for about 4 hours.
I eat salad items which only last a week, I also have COPD and I'm 86 years old.
Is it safe to go to the supermarket, as I usually do?
for shipping.
So I decided to try their home delivery via a truck. The first slot that was opened was for late next week. With the truck delivery, the pickers pick items from a large warehouse setting so I believe chances are a bit better of receiving the items I would want. It will be interesting to see how this delivery works out.
Iv'e been wondering too.
I'm almost 60 and I have COPD and I'm scared about going to the grocery store too.

I'm in southern California and my Nextdoor group has created a "Needs" thread where people can post requests. It's been nice to see dozens of people offering to shop or run errands, especially now that seniors in our state have been urged to remain at home.

I would not go grocery shopping right now if I were at high risk. When I do go into stores I keep my distance from other people and use the self-checkout so I don't have to stand in a line and make contact with the checker and bagger. If you have a delivery or pick-up option where you live, I wouldn't go into a store.
