For disease to happen, all of the pieces of the pie have to be there: sick driver, sneezing/coughing, viral particles transferred to the package, a very short time lapse before delivery, you touching the exact same spot on the package as the sneeze, you then touching your face or mouth before hand-washing.

TBH, I can see all of this happening with a pizza or chinese take out.

Maybe not so much at the tier 1 fast foods like McD, Wendy's, BK etc. because I have to believe everyone working there are hyper-aware and viligent (I hope) but not so sure with Domino's and their delivery guy.
