I’ve never worried about the food itself; my concern is the packaging. As it says, take the food out of it, dispose, and wash your hands. It’s also good that the drive-through cashiers are holding out the machine for you to insert your card in, rather than taking it from you and handing it back.

My issue as well. Someone who is otherwise asymptotic sneezes or coughs around the burger wrapping papers or boxes or bags which I hold.
Next time I go for fast food I’ll do takeout not drive through so I can see if they are using masks. If not I’ll pass.
Hit or miss if you can walk in for take out prefer walking in so can use the credit card machine/chip reader, haven’t seen the putting the machine out the drive thru window. Refuse to hand credit card to anyone with this going on. Also refuse to put the dam restaurant tracking apps on the phone though may need to rethink that one in the current situation.
I may be deluding myself but I believe paper Fibers will capture and hold the virus better than most other common materials reducing the odds of transference off of such materials. More concerned with metal foils and laminated/plastic material, plastic take out containers, waxed coated containers , coins.
Most fast food places don’t require a PIN to use a debit card but most supermarkets do! Go figure. Maybe it’s due to the amounts? In any case it’s probably wise to switch to the credit card for the time being no pin pad needed. I’ve been on the hand sanitizer in the car afterwards in any case. These stop gap measures aren’t really going to work. You will be exposed to this virus sooner or later. You may have already had it and are now immune.
I have heard of some fast food drive throughs handing you a card reader / pin pad so they don’t handle our truly filthy and disgusting credit cards.
Glad to see you out and about and didn’t try to ram the USNS Comfort at the Port of LA… 🙂
Or was it the Mercy? I probably have the two switched.
