WHEN TO SHOP FOR GROCERIES DURING CORONAVIRUS

Crowding at the grocery on Saturday mornings spreads disease.

The quarantine concentrates people in the few places that are still open. Public parks and grocery stores are packed with people on the weekends. People are taking advantage of extra time by shopping at home improvement stores. People are gathering in crowds to shop. This isn't safe! We’ve developed an algorithm to assign each of our users a specific shopping day and spread out the crowding. Protect yourself and others by shopping on your assigned shopping day only. We can reduce spread of disease collectively by reducing crowds. Don't shop on the weekends or in the evening after work if you can help it. Stores are fullest then. Instead, get an assigned shopping day.

Peak exposure may be only a few weeks away. Please talk to your medical doctor before changing your health and wellness routine.

A note on the math: It takes 5 days to get the test results. And, let's assume an incubation period of 7 days. That means infection numbers are likely 12 days ahead of the numbers reported above. Also, only people with severe symptoms are going to the hospital and getting tested (approx 20% of those infected). So the infection numbers are 5 times what you see in the hospital. To estimate risk of exposure, look 12 days ahead and multiply by 5. Also, find out how many people are infected in your area. Please update link
