The reason I decided on this place is that, while it is closed inside so I didn't have to even go inside, it has a window that opens up to the outside (they also have a great rep), so I placed my order, paid, and he pulled down the window, and so I waited outside 10' while the guy prepared everything, and then he opened up the window and handed me a nice brown paper bag. Other people dropped by to pick up their orders (all of whom waited while one at a time they approached the window, social distancing 3 metres). I'm not afraid as yet, just my idea of 'abundance of caution'. I wouldn't enter any resto to get take-out.
My freezer is stocked but I know it will get much worse, and I'm saving what I do have.
My mind/heart said I wouldn't get covid-19. I used to have an "inner voice" (which I liked, but sometimes just told me wishful thinking

), and because of meditation, the mind combined with the heart (outside the brain), and it dissolved the inner voice. The mind/heart is totally neutral and objective, and, in general, I do exactly what it may say, even though I hardly ever hear it, maybe a few times a year. I did ask the mind/heart about the noodle shop prior to my walkabout, and it said it would be okay. I asked about another place, and it nixed that idea. I am protected by forces beyond the realm of thought, beyond my own self-protective actions.
