how about an article listing businesses that provide curbside pickup for those in the highly susceptible groups. as things move back to the new “normal,” many places that were offering curbside pickup are discontinuing that option, such as page dairy. the state guidelines still recommend that the elderly and those with compromised immune systems should avoid shopping in person and waiting online. please don’t forget those at greater risk of contracting the virus. they need to eat, too, and would love to have options available to them.
