"There is a long list of problems with this suggestion, starting with how amazingly classist it is."
It's the opposite of classist, it's about bringing food to everyone in the safest way possible.
This is how Vietnam handled their lockdown to great success and they guaranteed food to everyone.
"Let's just point out that some people are homeless, soup kitchens are closing and homeless people still need to somehow eat."
Bring food to them. Everyone deserves to eat. In addition, house them. Hotels are more empty than ever before.
"As someone who actually has a compromised immune system, I don't want delivery drivers. I hate getting food delivered."
The grocery store is even worse. It's a nexus for disease, has unenforceable distancing, and mandatory touching of shared materials. Delivered food (i.e., groceries if you can cook) will have to be sterilized just like food you buy at the grocery store, but without those concerns. If it's stable at ambient outdoor temperature, you can also leave it outside for hours to decrease the chance of contact.
"I don't know what possesses people to imagine that delivery is superior method for germ control. That doesn't at all fit with my understanding of life, the universe and everything."
This is a tried and true method that limits contact and the spread of disease.
