@morphyms1817 ..I mentioned 99% recognizing necessity..I should also have said that there are still a number who refuse to observe it...and I would put that number at about 10%. So your 90% tallies nicely. Maybe that's the "Covid Constant" in a free and freedom-loving society :)

In my home town (Sydney,Australia) virtually every fast-food franchise , small / medium sized restaurant , and any other kind of readymade food operation is now advertising home delivery where previously it would in no way have made any sense. (the best example of that is,I think, Subway...usually there would be no good business reason to deliver a salad sandwich to a private home).
This,I think,is one of those exceeding rare instances that is a win-win-win with no downside that I can discern.Given that this is a unique set of circumstances,and given that I have zero business administration training in any form,I'm interested to hear opinions of those who,in fact,do understand business admin stuff,as to whether or not such a business model(very small operations servicing home delivery market) could succeed under normal market conditions.

note..this developed very quickly ..I would not be surprised if Uber has seen a marketing opportunity and jumped on it.I neglected to mention that this is an uber-eats driven phenomenon.Good on them..

Random is what this thread exists for..and no I don't,but I'm sure somebody somewhere does.

I started wearing a facemask outside two days ago, My area is having moderately high COVID-19 infections. Its not too bothersome, I have to be in the habit now of washing the facemask each time I take it off.

A quick look at the latest covid infection graphs seems to indicate a bit of flattening in the USA. This is great news..let's hope it keeps on.

A few days back it was vertical..now is getting towards about 45 degrees. Hopefully we will soon see a peak.

Of 2700 Australian passengers on the cruise ship Ruby Princess ,about 700 have tested positive,and 16 have so far died from covid-19.
This dramatically demonstrates just how infectious this virus is.
Don't relax just yet,folks..keep your distance..that's the most effective way to interrupt the spread.

If you are not aware of the Ruby Princess story, the link is to a reliable publication.

Anyone got a feel-good story?
Let's just try and look on the bright side..

@obladie
I'll share a positive story, you may have heard, Andrew Cotter is commentating everyday events concerning banal activities of his two Labradors. My friend and I are now keeping up with these 'cliffhangers' LOL.
