It would never be possible to require only curbside or delivery. There are far too many people (older or due to economic reasons) that do not have internet and would be unable to place their orders ahead of time.
The county I live in reported a 27.0% positivity rate (only 760 tests) bringing our 7 day rolling average to 14.6%. Region 4 of IL was sitting at a 13.4% positivity rate as of 11/8.Here’s an example of clear recommendations vs. orders for COVID measures:

Yeah, there’s a lot of people who prefer recommendations over requirements. So far I haven’t seen that work in this country. Many people want masks to just be a recommendation and not a requirement at a place like WDW. That isn‘t going to help it’s just going to lead to more people not doing what they need to do. In many cases even when stuff is required and not optional it’s still hard to get people to comply.Here’s an example of clear recommendations vs. orders for COVID measures:

Yeah, it makes me sad that citizens of our country won’t just do the right thing without being forced to do so (and even when things are mandated, we see them all push back, “oh, yeah? How are you going to enforce that!”).
I’m proud of how responsible our governor has been since the very beginning. I believe Illinois was the second state to shelter in place, and our numbers were pretty good until recently.Here’s an example of clear recommendations vs. orders for COVID measures:

This is why the “no big deal” crowd’s “99.8% survivability!“ are ridiculous.This story got lost in the pre-election news blitz, but I think it's an important one and deserves a link now:
Long-haulers: Tampa Bay residents can’t shake COVID-19 symptoms months later
They survived the coronavirus, but they’re still struggling with strange symptoms they never expected.
The deaths are very sad, but I think something we should really be focused on right now is the long haul effect. We haven't been with this virus for a year and many who were sick in the spring are still suffering now. Imagine being out of breath after walking a few minutes. Imagine not being able to remember your own name at moments. Imagine losing big chunks of your hair months after you had the virus. Imagine not knowing exactly what is happening to your body.This story got lost in the pre-election news blitz, but I think it's an important one and deserves a link now:

Ive said this before (maybe early in the summer) but I Know someone who still suffers so much that they have wondered if dying would have been the easier route.
This is why communication and public messaging is so important to public health. The governor can’t put them all out of business (not sure he’d want to), but the public can be convinced to do the right thing and stay home.
For those without Internet, you could phone your order in.
or sonic style lol.
That would probably work for smaller orders (or exceedingly organized people, unlike myself when it comes to the grocery shopping). I would eventually have to either have a website to browse or be able to go in, otherwise I'm gonna forget to get my kids lemon juice for them to make their lemonade every. time.
Have you actually tried calling any type of business lately?
Umm... yes?

How can they know one year if we haven't even been dealing with covid for a year yet? Is there some scientific equation used to calculate how long or something?
