In all honesty, I think food delivery companies are part of the problem.

Buying delivery is one of the few ways I have to try to support local businesses a little bit... I can give generous tips, and I can avoid being infected by putting everything I buy in the oven for a while, or buying things that I know will not pass through many fingers after being cooked.

Yes, it is a risk of infection, but one that you can calculate and do stuff to mitigate.

it’s better to have a few couriers to many people than many people mingling with many people at restaurants. It’s like logarithmic or linear versus quadratic or exponential spread.

You mean this from a security perspective in their services?

Probably in terms of being potential carriers spreading the disease to the quarantined? I imagine there is a risk there.

We need a "travelling delivery-carrier problem" model, which should be similar to TTSP...

"Whats the maximum number of infection interactions a delivery driver can cause during a pandemic"
