We cook a lot these days but just wondering what do people think, for takeaway/delivery food…
What if a virus carrier sneezes/coughs onto the food before it's covered or sealed?
What if the utensils/cutlery/crockery used to prepare the food is infected by a virus carrier sneezing or coughing on them?
What if the delivery person who is a carrier touches the carry bag or coughs/sneezes on it?
What if the food (e.g. bread) is dropped on the floor or surfaces and picked up but now infected?

Notes & Disclaimers:
Not trying to destroy small businesses here. On the contrary, if restaurants can figure out how to overcome this somehow and get the message across, they could be rolling in dough with so many people stuck at home. You're welcome.
Heat kills the virus according to most sources (see here)
Here's a cute cartoon video about the virus to help you relax if you're anxious after reading and answering this poll.

Edit 3:
We have to eat and yes, we can catch it from food from a store we prep ourselves as well as through take away. However the less hands on the food the better IMO. Personally, I have stopped buying fresh veg and stick mostly to canned food, dry food and shrink wrapped meat. Still, there is always a chance the can or packages are infected on the outside so I am spraying them with Glen 20 in the car then I get home and wash the packages with soap. Call me crazy but prevention like this helps me sleep at night. Hopefully this is all over in 6 months so we can all get back to eating out in peace. For the guy who posted this question "if you have to ask those questions and if you have all those concerns like me which you clearly do, stay away from takeaway or delivery food. For everyone else who wants to eat takeaway, have at it" YouTube can teach you how to cook anything so it's a good time to skill up in that department and gets your mind off all the shit happening's.
