    I’m curious, what do you do when you have the flu or covid or the like and are too sick to shop? I mean, I know some places have affordable grocery delivery, but in places where that’s not the case?

      I’ll send my SO shopping. If that’s not an option, I’ll order pizza for 2 days, then I am good enough again to go to the supermarket by myself.

      Flu or covid doesn’t stop anyone from going out anyway. That’s the mentality around here. For the rare cases where one would be out cold unable to move there’s usually family I guess that would help. In cities at least delivery is ok from the major supermarkets. For more isolated villages and people those already have their groceries and needs bought in a more monthly basis and don’t need to go to buy groceries a few times per week.
