I bet Schwan's business will increase during this time...  curb side delivery will be appealing.   
 
I find it funny that all the people FB posting nonstop about staying home last week are now posting about food trucks coming around.   Yes, standing in line for a food truck is soooo much safer than social distancing in a restaurant.

I see people posting on Facebook about how they're social-distancing and keeping groups under ten, while socializing with a DIFFERENT group of ten every evening.

Those are called dinner parties, folks.

I can see the street from my home office, and we live about 1/3 of the way up a cul de sac, in the back of a neighborhood, so the only reason we get traffic is if it's to one of the 20 or so houses farther up, and I still see the Schwanns truck once or twice a day

We're trying to set up a "virtual happy hour" with our friends in Indianapolis and North Carolina tonight, but the Indy crew might bow out because it's his mom's birthday...

...if it were me, Coronavirus is the best excuse to get OUT of family events that one could have. "Sorry, mom, you know the governor said we shouldn't go out..."

We got out of even having to find an excuse for my wife's cousin's baby's first birthday 2 hours away next weekend.  We were never going, but now we don't even have to take crap for it

Two hours? Yeesh.

I think I might be one of the few adults who doesn't mind kids birthday parties, mostly because it lets me see friends with kids who are usually too busy for much. Granted, I don't have my own kids.

I don't mind kid's Bday parties as long as there's good food and drink!

One of our local food trucks did a preorder thing. Go online and get BBQ by the pound, not cheap, but they do good work. I was too late to get some, but they said they had their usual Saturday workload, which was great.

Instead I went to a local market/cafe for one of their very good sandwiches. They had everyone working, but the tone of the "thanks for coming in" from the owner just made my heart break. Really hoping they make it through.

Yup, I hear ya.  I grew up in the restaurant business, and it's tough enough without any eternal problems.  I feel for those folks.

When they are local, I actually enjoy them.  Kids don't really have friends at least until school age.  Their "friends" are just the kids of your friends.  So really all you do is hang out with your friends and day drink.  My kids are with me either way, and that is more enjoyable.

But driving to Akron, to see a cousin we see at Christmas and maybe one other time a year, and my extended family in laws?

Pass.  No matter the occasion.  The easiest part is that she doesn't want to go either.

I would not drive to Akron from most anywhere, though the one place I've eaten there (Luigi's maybe?) was excellent.

Well, it is.  You're exposing yourself to the person in front of you and behind you, and the food handler.
In a restaurant, you're exposing yourself to whoever comes near you AND everyone who sat at that table, previously.  IF they're disinfecting the tables, I doubt they're doing much with the chairs.
