The problem with this analysis is that you're failing to actually make a comparison with shopping at Trader Joe's (or any other grocery store).
First of all, grocery stores are pretty filthy places. Carts get used by thousands of people, and the most cleaning they generally get is when a customer grabs a sanitizing wipe at the entrance and wipes down the handlebar.
Supposing that Trader Joe's shoppers are significantly less likely to be vaccinated, which is worse: having someone unvaccinated pick up your groceries and deliver them, or going to an enclosed space full of unvaccinated people and pushing around an unsanitary cart for half an hour?
- drakaal 13y agoIn Phoenix the carts "self Clean" pretty well 110 Degree parking lot, lots of UV from the sun... But point taken a shop in Half Moon Bay where there is no sun and lots of water is going to be pretty gross. I don't know how many of the Apples are handled by other people in the store. And I know "3 second rule is a myth" but it there is the longer contact with one person, and that the one person is likely to interact with 100s of buyers makes the individual risk likely the same, but the resulting outcome 100x worse. At the store one person might infect 2, but is unlikely to infect 200. A single delivery person could infect 200.
