Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

Nice to see so many restaurants able to offer take-out to try to blunt some of this.

Have to wonder though, how long before shortages of take out boxes affect those restaurants?

Bring your own Tupperware. Problem solved, and reduces plastic waste.

You’re burying the headline. How was the sandwich?

It could never live up to hype. With that said, probably my favorite mainstream chicken sandwich. I liked it more than chik fil a, which was my previous favorite. Id rather not go back to the Merle Hay one though.

You went to Merle Hay? Were you car jacked?

It might have been discussed, but my daycare in WDM is closing at 3pm starting tomorrow.

I went to that Merle Hay Popeyes location a month or so ago and it was ****!ng gross! Garbage was overflowing, tables were dirty, and the bathroom smelled like someone died in it. Food was still pretty good... lol!

Did they put a timeframe on it or just, until further notice?

Been waiting for this notice from our daycare in Ankeny. It’s gotta be coming.

Rookie move. Never use the bathroom at a fast food joint. Can ruin the whole experience. I usually try not to look at the teeth of the drive through employee either....

At least I used it after the meal was done. But yeah, I'll never make that mistake again.

That's one of three Popeye's I've ever been too. Chik-fil-A for me. Plus, Chik-fil-A's service is 1000 times better than Popeye's.

Here's an article dealing with lung capacity in Korean patients:

Doesn't it give you viral pneumonia in advanced cases? That is going to **** your lungs up. I had a coworker who got pneumonia and he wasn't breathing right for months afterwards. Would get fatigued walking the stairs and stuff like that.

Regardless of whether there is permanent scarring (scary) or not it should be used to scare young people into staying home.

Where are the "This is your lungs on Covid-19" PSAs! That fried egg scared the **** out of me.

Or the 'I learned it from watching you!' with the druggie Dad.

No timeframe, just says effective tomorrow.

So is anyone else a little leery of even getting takeout right now? What are the chances the virus could be passed through food if someone in the kitchen is a carrier?

It could. But my feeling is that I’m going to get this. But I’m practicing social distancing so I won’t give it to someone.

Think I read the transmission potential is pretty low being passed from person, on to food, then to another person. It seems to feed on person to person transmission via aerosolized particles.

Sadly, yes.

But aerosolized particles can live on food containers for 24 hours or longer from what I’ve heard.
