Ferrer added that those with higher risks, including those with pre-existing health conditions and the elderly, should stay home except for medical visits. The health director also asked those without those health risks to aid in providing supplies and groceries to those who must stay home, dropping off necessities at the door and keeping social distance.
This has major implications for those who've left the house to shop for groceries or even pick up takeout food. County and city officials haven't gone so far as to suggest limiting takeout food excursions or instructing food delivery drivers to cease. In fact, Ferrer encouraged residents specifically today to take advantage of delivery services for groceries (and by implication, prepared restaurant food) in order to reduce exposure.

Shopping for Small Desks - The New York Times
A desk doesn't have to be a heavy, baronial expanse of wood that dominates a room. Especially at home — and especially at a time when many of us are trying to shoehorn an additional work space into anyplace it will fit — something smaller and more sprightly is often preferable.
"Different types of work require different types of spaces: If it's just a laptop, you don't need a large desk," said Chad Dorsey , a Dallas-based interior designer who sells turnkey home-office furniture packages.
Delivery drivers pay price of South Korea's online shopping spree | Coronavirus pandemic News
Seoul, South Korea - In the middle of last month, a delivery driver for Coupang, South Korea's biggest online marketplace, was found dead between the fourth and fifth floors of the apartment building where he was supposed to be delivering a package.

Coupang's "Rocket Wow" delivery service promises customers their packages by dawn and people can often return items they bought by simply leaving them in front of their door.

I ordered some gifts—a hand salve, some tea, soap and a cookbook—from a Washington, D.C.-based boutique on March 19, a Thursday. My friend's birthday wasn't for another week and I figured the package could take a while. But it arrived on her New York doorstep two days later. I was stunned.
