I did learn why food isn’t considered an issue.  This is a respiratory virus and has to get into your respiratory system and although that can happen through the mouth and eyes as well as the nose (which is why your mask goes over your nose and not just your chin, people in the grocery store), eating isn’t a very likely way for that to happen.  Good – as I am off for socially distanced ice cream this afternoon.
