Did China (Wuhan, specifically) have a strong grocery delivery system? Services obviously exist here in the US, but where I live they are certainly not at a scale that it could overnight replace grocery shopping trips. I have seen news reports of the National Guard delivering food to homes in New Rochelle NY, but that isn’t going to scale, certainly not overnight (and people will worry/whine that they don’t get the food they like... or perhaps actually need for dietary reasons).
