So my next question is, is that observation connected to the fact that children (esp under 10 y/o) are thought to be less likely to transmit the disease or is it connected to something about how masks and spreading out make classrooms truly safe? I don’t think this answer is known yet, it’s just the question that seems most relevant to my personal situation.

I have always bought my own groceries since COVID started. I go early or late if I can. And I step lively. No cart, just eco bags on my arm. It seems like transmission occurs indoors, crowded places, lengthy exposure. I’m willing to do these 30 minute speed runs, but I am not doing Costco. Cant get in and out in 30 minutes this time of year. | |||

No Costco here either, except what I can order from them online. I'll do Trader Joe's during senior hour on Sunday morning, but I'm not going to Costco. | |||

We have been doing our own shopping as well, throughout the pandemic. Usually Mr. SK goes by himself, but I go if there's something I need. We put hand sanitizer in the car, of course mask up, and don't dillydally...

I've been doing instacart with curbside pickup. My heavens, what a life changing experience. I DESPISE going grocery shopping. I've noticed that we actually eat a bit better now, because I'm fine with just placing the order on line and picking it up, vs waiting until the last possible minute and trying to figure out if I can make dinner from rice, ketchup and some wilted scallions, which is all I have left in the pantry. So far everything has been great, good produce, etc. I think it's a great service. I can honestly see myself continuing it post-pandemic. That's how much I hate going grocery shopping. The only goofy thing that happened--I wanted to order one of those bags of fingerling potatoes. So I went online, checked the spot that showed a 5-lb bag of fingerling potatoes, said quantity: 1. When I unpacked the order, I got one fingerling potato. It looked like I had ordered a thumb. Hahahahahaha! Honestly, who would buy one fingerling potato?  Happy holidays, everyone! | |||

Costco senior hours have been great. The store that's five minutes away from us is a smallish one and never sees the traffic that others do, which makes it even better. I think it's probably me and like 50 or 75 other old farts in a huge building. I go at a little after 9 and am out before 10 when the store opens to the general public. Same for Trader Joe's.

I had the reverse: 5 pounds of potatoes, instead of 5 small potatoes. Oops. I don’t mind grocery shopping, but the grocery pickup is pretty convenient, and I’ll be continuing that post-pandemic. I do run into the store for things they can’t substitute well, and they usually let me know what they don’t have before I pick up. It’s pretty efficient.
