Thanksgiving is precisely one week away from today, and grocery stores are rushing to make the most of one of their busiest days in the past, doing so with social remoteness and easing the boundaries of occupation in stores.
There is no doubt that many supermarkets and restaurants propose a meal prepared for Thanksgiving to take away, adapted to the amount of food from other people, because most turkeys weigh 22 pounds and too much. Excellent for this year’s birthday party and The truth is that with so many restaurants closed or serving outside, Thanksgiving would probably not be so exciting to sit in a winter coat, hat and shawl in many parts of the country. more traffic, as other people will eat more Thanksgiving dinners at home this year, even if the number of other people around the table is lower.
A survey published through Numerator found that among turkey buyers, 51% plan to celebrate Thanksgiving with only one member of their family. More than 8 out of 10 (85%) they will continue to purchase Thanksgiving food at points of sale this year, and the 15% plan to buy online (12% online orders/in-store recall, 3% online orders for delivery). Between Millennials and Generation Z, just over a third plan to celebrate Thanksgiving with only family members and 9% plan to buy a total turkey for the first time, and 7% welcome Thanksgiving for the first time.
Chicago would possibly take the most powerful measures than shopkeepers. The Chicago Tribune reports that as developing COVID-19 cases collide with Thanksgiving food shopping, the city warns of an offensive against crowds at grocery stores.
Chicago will enter lockout on Monday; as a result, other people have already started buying food at the supermarket; and the result is that there are other people’s queues waiting outside in a 40-degree climate to enter the stores.
Chicago takes this very seriously because its mayor Lori Lightfoot warns businesses, adding supermarkets, that they will face fines and potentially closed if they adhere to social esttachment regulations or handle crowds well.

The mayor’s heavy workplace risk comes at a time when COVID-19 cases in Chicago are developing rapidly. Illinois reported 15,415 cases shown or likely last Friday and an average rate of case positivity in seven days of 13. 2%, up from 3. 4% two on Thursday, there were more people hospitalized for COVID-19 than at any time during the first outbreak in the spring.

Jure Leskovec, who led the effort, reported that the restaurants were in the most dangerous places.
Technology is evolving at breakneck speed to help shoppers navigate where they don’t go.
Supermarkets are doing everything they can to make sure their retail outlets are stocked with products for the holiday season, but we may still see shortages.
