Agree. But I note that two Walmarts within my driving distance are now offering on line orderring of food and an employee carries them out to your vehicle wearing a mask and gloves. My niece did her shopping this way over the weekend.

Smart move by Walmart. I usually buy local. And will do so if merchants at least try to ease transmission risks. If not, I will be driving to Walmart.

The ball is in business owners court. Those that adapt will generate good will and reduce risks to their employees. And of course, they will make money.

I am not saying this is easy. Businesses need to try and adapt or they will suffer.
