Good-oh but the food producers remain the same, shelf stackers become box fillers the same . However delivery means transport which cuts out contacts in shops which is the way to go.
That reminds me of the old Simak novel 'Ring Around the Sun (Corona)' where a 2nd Earth is made away from the original and it's all 'automated' (robots) and the populace is kept away in sanitised living lifestyles of minimal contact. A precurser to Asimov's 'Spacers'
Such a Full Lockdown (like what happened in Wuhan) would jilt an entire generation into secluded existence. Kept away from the Radiactive winds from World Nuclear War too down the track because we know it will happen, not like in the 80's when they hoped it wouldn't.
Starving the Virus like starving the Cancer.
It's a good tact and can work.
Or we can let the Virus loose and watch it take out 79% of the over-populated world and humanity progresses. It has to - there are many such contagia out in the galaxy and we need to be 'adaptive' if we want to find 'life' and keep on living long term.
A Cure will put it away in a cage but we will always have to carry that Vaccine with us always for the Virus needs to be destroyed totally!
