Everything I read says that risk of transmission from food or packaging is low. Is that true? Here's what I've read:
CDC:
"It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads."
New York Times:
“The risk of becoming infected from touching any individual shopping cart is probably very, very low,” said Dr. Daniel Winetsky, infectious diseases fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
Dr. Winetsky agreed that the risk of contamination from jars, cans or other containers “is infinitesimally small” and that you have to balance risk with anxiety. “I would not do this myself or really recommend it to other people,” he said. “This level of anxiety about sanitation can be harmful in and of itself.”
Wall Street Journal:
They say the potential risks of becoming infected with the virus from touching a surface are very small. It’s primarily person-to-person interaction that is driving the Covid-19 outbreak, rather than contact with objects.
“The risk of getting infected from food delivery is pretty low but not zero,” says Daniel Kuritzkes, chief of the division of infectious diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

In your books, you present certain things as being true statements about the world. Your response sounds to me like, "why do people expect the things I say about the world to actually be true?" I don't remember any disclaimer in you book saying "the contents of this book are not actually true - they're just here to make you think differently."

Wouldn’t government-subsidized salaries have the same benefits as guaranteed basic income, plus remove a lot of the possible objections?

Companies get used to cheap voiceovers on fiverr and they’re less likely to pay a lot to the people who are trying to earn a living at it.
