(If get frustrated and decide I want the virus so I can get the immunity and go on doing what I like, I will probably go to a Starbucks, as I can't think of any place where it'd be more easily transmitted.)
But I hear of all these people ordering from delis and Chick Fil A and Burger King, etc. And food deliveries are constant in my neighborhood. How are those places not spreading this like wildfire? The employees there tend to be working class, living in densely populated areas, using public transportation, therefore exposed to the virus at work and in their neighborhoods.
How are fast food places not causing spikes all over the country?

Are you literate? The answer is that heat seems to denature the virus and it can’t survive in the digestive tract.
Sure, if you touch a container with virus on it and then rub your eyes or pick your nose you can get it to where it can reproduce, but eating it isn’t a danger and the usual food prep-precautions also work against it.
ETA: This reads like you don’t understand the difference btw a virus and a bacteria.
