Well luckily for you, I can only pass it on to other fake brave guys who walk in the park or maniacally peek their head out a door and hand me a bag of food while we both wear a mask. So you can take comfort in the fact that all affected are of no concern to you.
But only 2-3 days of asymptomatic contagiousness.

Our analysis suggests that viral shedding may begin 2 to 3 days before the appearance of the first symptoms. After symptom onset, viral loads decreased monotonically, consistent with two recent studies8,9. Another study from Wuhan reported that virus was detected for a median of 20 days (up to 37 days among survivors) after symptom onset10, but infectiousness may decline significantly 8 days after symptom onset, as live virus could no longer be cultured (according to Wölfel and colleagues11).

Lots of activity here.
From replies to him I was going to take someone off ignore to see more of his exemplary concern for people lower down the social scale, but
Damn dude, has your head been in the sand this whole time? The more people that have it, the more likely everyone else is to get it. Seems pretty simple.
Right but they can only pass it on to other people who are not taking what this thread deems necessary precautions. So we all deserve what we get and are of no concern to you.
I’m treating this as myself, would I stop someone who is still working my job from getting a coffee, No.
Do I want that place open, also NO.
I blame Starbucks tbh… Fuck them not their workers.

To be fair Starbucks are closed in 99% of other countries. It just seems to be the US where takeout coffee is deemed essential.
What’s the Covid life on a cardboard / plastic cup again?

There are tons of other things the corporate world would like to have open right now which aren’t open.
Totally fair & reasonable…
I want my vote back… Change to a No after JT convinced me not to go for coffee.

Our local fish and chips shop is take away only now and giving free fish n chips to medical people with safe-distancing measures.
I don’t go there (or any non-essential shop) now, but if health workers want a decent free low-risk meal I’m not going to judge them.

Actually, a bunch of Starbucks locations closed in New England in mid-March, and all of the employees at these locations have been getting paid in full through the shutdown.

When I’m back to work in a month, I promise to use my new coffee machine over takeout, fair?
Well as long as the Tips keep flowing…

If only you bastards had voted bastard…
But the restrictions need to make sense. They need to be reasonable. Banning crowded restaurants or sporting events with tens of thousands of people crowded into a stadium makes sense. Demanding no one get a coffee or hamburger handed to them or making someone reading a book alone in a park go home or not letting someone fish on his boat in a lake doesn’t make sense. The more people are pushed to keep from doing activities that aren’t likely to contribute to the spread of the virus the more they will resent and oppose the restrictions in general.

Well then everyone changed the topic because it’s been about COFFEE for a while now.
Other “less quarantine” situations should be evaluated on their own merit.
Aren’t you the one who boasted a few days ago about having an N-95 mask and then handwaving away the risks to others by saying that you’ve been in lockdown in 4 weeks so you’re not a risk to anyone else?
Monday seems so so long ago…
