Do you think buying at the store or ordering online is more safe from the coronavirus?

Staying safe means reducing exposure. Someone who would be paranoid could quite easily operate as normal and that is also under what expectation hospital staff are expected to behave. Essentially as long as you separate contact from "Public" surfaces and "Private" surfaces as well as separate "Public surfaces" and exposure to yourself you should be fine. Basically it means you are careful to not infect yourself while in public and properly clean yourself before you transition to your safe home where you are free to do whatever.

Someone who is not as diligent will find this easier to do the less they have to expose themselves to "public surfaces" so only briefly interacting with someone who delivers your wares and the wares themselves means fewer times you need to clean yourself and less chance you will infect yourself.

I think buying online is safer, because there is much less contact, and its much easier to be cautious and wash up after opening and disposing of packaging than it is in the store. I also haven't had to sign for a package since all of this started.

I don't know what it's like in other countries, but where I live I think it's more important that the elderly and those in the risk groups get to do their grocery shopping online. If too many shop online, it'll clog up the system and then those in the risk groups will have to wait longer for their food. I'm young and healthy (and am not in contact with anyone belonging to the risk group), so I don't mind potentially exposing myself to the virus a couple of times a week.

Online for sure. And have them leave it outside your door

You risk getting infected no matter where you buy from.

It has to be done either way. Delivery slots aren't available as early as one would like.

We've been making a big deal about shopping from our local and small business during this time.

I dont shop online, i want it now.

Besides I'm a risk taker, i won't wear a stupid mask.

A bit of both as the odds of being able to get delivery slots are low, I usually have a 3 - 4 week stock of food on hand, tinned , dried and frozen,

I've been going to stores for the last 3 months. I've you actually need something you can go get it if there is no rush online
