    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I saw that the other day, and came the closest I've ever come to throwing up just from seeing and reading something.

    I already won't eat KFC, this just adds to that.

    What's more, this same thing has happened to numerous people, and yet other people still eat there. WTF?

    I don't know, lots of people have car accidents and I still drive.

    Any time you go to any restaurant, you are putting your trust in the people behind the counter. Good luck everyone!

    Yeah, but with driving you are risking an accident in order get to places you need to go. With KFC you are risking biting into a chicken brain in order to eat horrible food that comes from nightmare factories.

    Actually, I haven't been to a KFC for months and months and months. But it's not because of a fear of contamination - that shits full of fat.

    I just find it funny that people get all horrified at the idea that strangers being paid bugger all don't really give a shit about other people's food, when they shouldn't be eating it in the first place because its basically a calorie and fat delivery mechanism.

    Kidneys are delicacies here. You can order lamb kidney as fast food.

    You'd be surprised what the back rooms and kitchens of your local groceries and restaurants look like....

    I don't know why or how some of you are throwing all restaurants and groceries stores into the same ring as KFC. Mind boggling.

    Because one of the things I do is audit food safety.

    Eh. I prefer to go to places with open kitchens. Don't really go out much, and typically only buy meats and deli meats from stores that I audit and trust.

    Once you start auditing food safety, it never shuts off. :P

    Here's a quick thing to look for while shopping at a grocery deli: The person who's serving you ready to eat lunch meat, when was the last time she changed her gloves/washed her hands? Was she just handling raw chicken at the fryers? That pre made sandwich you just bought, did they prep raw product on the cutting board and not clean it before they made that sandwich?

    Oh, and I swore off cubed steak after my first week auditing some years back. Granted, I never ate it, but those cubers were fucking disgusting. 95% of my stores now they're clean as a whistle.

    EDIT: Some meat cutters refer to cubed steaks as maggot steaks.

    Related but for the home cooking: how many people use the same spoon/utensil before and after browning the ground beef?

    I'm pretty paranoid about cross contamination. I always chop veggies and meat with different cutting boards and knives, and am careful about utensils when cooking.

    My roommate is much more conscientious about cooling things off (for instance, insisting that food cool down on the counter before put in the fridge for leftovers.)
    ...and the milk's in me.
