There's little if any evidence to support fear of Corona transmission through food. You get corona by breathing it, not eating it. Restaurants have taken a hit because their dining areas are dangerous, not their kitchens (not to the consumer anyway, the employees are a hazard to each other.) I've been eating 7-11 hotdogs this entire time in a city that's been locked down for months; they never stopped food prep because there's really little reason to stop it.
For that matter, our world has been "post-pandemic" for longer than recorded history. It's not even the first pandemic in the modern era.

Pizza delivery companies are advertising their pizza as "untouched by human hand" from the time they emerge from the oven to the time they get to your door. > It's not even the first pandemic in the modern era. We have short attention spans. Not everyone is a history expert/pedant like you.
- catalogia 6y agoIf my intent was to be pedantic, I would have pointed out that we're not post-corona because it's still ongoing. My actual point, which I had hoped you would infer, was that people have short attentions spans. I see little reason to believe corona will have lasting profound social impact when previous pandemics in the modern era did not. Judging by road traffic, people are already beginning to return to their normal lives even though this pandemic still hasn't run it's course. I think in a few years it will be nearly forgotten, just like the other pandemics.
