Cook line, cashier, bar staff, hostess...does it really matter. Cook accidentally rubs their eye one day and passes it on.... or coughs on the outside of the carryout box, and the hostess touches it and picks her teeth, or rubs nose or eye.
She's asymptomatic a few days later, then handles your money and/or carryout stuff right b4 you get it, and you unknowingly contract it by toyching your eye and pass it on to someone else.
Some sources show 25 to 50% asymptomatic people are passing it. Other studies show less. But imo, its passing thru asymptomatic more than we know.
And Im not saying dont go out.... but the less exposure the better.
And one day we're told not to wear masks, and that asymptomatics arent probably high risk, and only old people die, then we're told to at least wear anything mask-wise, and that people of all ages are dying.
This shit is real. Sorry for the rant.... stay safe.
Last time, everything seemed warm and fresh, not this time. Don't think I'll be doing this again.

CDC hasn't found it linked in food. The virus is relatively easy to inactivate by heat. But I guess you'd be worried about the packaging.
Pickup was easy, they converted all the spots in front of the restaurant to pickup lanes and had numbers posted.

the covid-19 virus has nothing to do with "food safety", it's about minimizing contact.
I emphasize I was only talking about packaged food. I definitely wouldn't be eating from a grocery store's salad bar or buying self-serve doughnuts, for example. In fact, I'm staying out of grocery stores completely [thesun.co.uk]; I think grocery delivery is the way to go for now. It would probably be prudent for grocery stores to stop allowing the public inside stores and offer delivery and curbside pickup only in order to prevent people from spreading the virus inside stores.

Unless someone coughs right near you/in your face, you're not getting covid by breathing it in. It's mostly hands to face/mucous membranes. Also no real evidence you can get it if you eat it.
Here's a video [youtube.com] from Dr. David Price, from Weill-Cornell hospital in NYC; pulmonary and critical care MD. It's about an hour long (here's a ~ 10 minute condensed version [facebook.com]). VERY good video from someone on the real frontlines of this.
that said, you might be able to get it from the outside of a food container, but even then going all out and washing everything you buy is also overkill.
No need to stock up or disinfect your groceries [medium.com]
We have no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 is spreading through food at all. Not through take-out orders, groceries, or produce. When you return home from the grocery store, please thoroughly wash your hands, but there is no reason to try to disinfect your groceries. And please, don't put disinfecting chemicals like household cleaners on the food you're going to eat.
Luckily for lazy cooks, eating food prepared in restaurants appears to be a safe choice. Current guidance from the Food and Drug Administration states that "there is no evidence [npr.org] to suggest that food produced in the United States can transmit COVID-19."

That's an interesting video, but he lost a lot of credibility in my mind when he cavalierly said he knows he will not contract the virus. Given what's known and unknown at this point, that's just not a sensible thing for a person to conclude who is at the epicenter of this and in direct physical contact with infected people on a daily basis. Hopefully he turns out to be right, and I think he will turn out to be mostly right about most of what he said, but a lot of what he's saying is conjecture until we have reliable data instead of anecdotal evidence.
The fact is no one currently knows [nature.com] how transmittable this virus is via aerosols. Humanity has only known of this virus's existence for a few months, and we simply don't have the data yet. What is known is that virus particles can be present in aerosols emitted from infected people and that those aerosols can linger in the air for some period of time ranging from minutes to hours.
With that information, I believe it is prudent to behave with the assumption the virus is easily transmitted via aerosols emitted by talking, coughing, sneezing, or just breathing. You also should keep in mind that people inadvertently spit when they talk. Perhaps you can recall taking to someone and feeling a droplet of saliva land on your face or in your eye. I imagine a single droplet of saliva landing in your eye could easily carry the viral load needed for infection. For that reason, I would personally wear eye protection in addition to a mask or respirator if I absolutely had to be in an enclosed public place in close proximity to other people.
Given that it's not particularly costly or inconvenient to take a few personal precautions for most people—preparing your own food at home and avoiding grocery stores or other enclosed places with lots of people for instance—to possibly avoid a potentially very bad situation, I think the precautions are warranted.
If those views make me a tin foil hat wearer, so be it. However, I might have to substitute the tin foil for aluminum foil because I don't actually have any tin foil.
Well the exact same thing is true for Dine in as well.
