I'd say there's a 50/50 chance drive through windows will get shut down if the new measures do not keep the curve down...most drive through windows don't have credit card ports that the driver can access so there is a lot of back and forth handling of cash and cards...How many cases of DT employees will it take?

IMO CC companies should be sending all their card holders cheap styluses so they do not have to handle public ones...

Here in Canada cards are tap. (No touching keypads/ no handing cards over. )

Wife and I went to several stores today. No TP.
A Walmart clerk said they sold completely out early this morning when they got in a shipment.

We had lunch at a local restaurant we frequent. Today no menus, salt, pepper, sugar. Waitress tells you what they have and brings whatever you need.

It occurred to me I've lived through so many crises. When I started investing the DJIA was in the 900s. Then on Black Monday I lost $1/2M. $500K in one day.
America has gone through so many wars, hurricanes, fires, tornados, etc., but we're still here. We're strong and resolute.

The stock market is way down...but people are buying supplies faster than shelves can restocked. What an opportunity for a long term investor, especially the young to buy! Especially mutual funds. The key is knowing when and hopefully soon.

IT can be that way here also if there is a reachable port (drive-throughs make it difficult) I guess some debit cards require pin #s ?...

Cash is as bad as handling keypads and it's only a matter of time before someone working a cash register infects a bunch of people...same as merchandise handlers...

Boston just shut down all construction sites in the city. ... They are doing their best to kill the economy.

The sales person sticks one of these out the window at you. Wave your card over it and it’s done. Touchless.
