Is that common? I'm not sure. But it is happening here and there. |
Six more people, possibly nine, are thought to have gotten infected at the store. I mean, that’s basically nothing for a Wal-Mart with the amount of people it sees and certainly isn’t showing some huge problem. I’m certain there are way more attached to that store. I would guess at minimum 70% of of open grocery stores and Wal-Mart type stores have cases connected to them, it’s just we probably don’t know about them.
Remember that the New York antibody tests were done in grocery stores and other big box stores so clearly there are infected people all over those places. These places aren’t like nursing homes, prisons, meat plants, etc in their level of risk. The question is why. Is it demographics of customers? Of workers? Space in the store? Mitigation efforts? Probably all of the above.
