I had no idea these people normally unpack the crates. Last time I looked the crates had a handful of plastic carrier bags but I guess that's changed now ... since Greta Thundberg.

Re: Tesco refused to help disabled customer
We have been asked when ordering shopping online if we need assistance unpacking. The driver may have wrongly assumed this customer was self isolating, how can any of us be sure we have not had contact with a carrier of this virus, they may not be aware they have.

The virus could be on tins and packets as well as on the crates themselves. To be frank, you'd have to use sanitiser on everything in the delivery to be reasonably certain you have reduced the risk. All that is moot though if the driver has picked the virus up, doesn't know he/she has it and has left the virus in the air in your house.
Bear in mind there's a chance the virus is on coins and banknotes, too, which I haven't seen much mention of in the media. Let's say an infected person pays with cash for their purchases, the cashier takes the money and sticks it in the till with all the other money people have previously handled and then hands them back their change. Even if someone (shopper, cashier, etc.) isn't infected, they could be touching money that has COVID-19 on it.
COVID-19 is loose now, and all the measures undertaken now are really just to delay the spread or attempt to minimise the risks. Prevention isn't possible any more. I'm just ignoring the useless panic and regularly washing my hands while I get on with my usual routine.

'If' the driver was infected he touched everything as he transferred them from crate to worktop, the same could be said of the picker and packer in the store. We could all scare ourselves to death with our 'ifs' and 'buts'.
In life, we do an enormous amount of things via trust. I am trusting enough to place another order next week.

I know you won't want my pity but all the same. Find some compassion in your heart and I think you will be a much happier person.
I'm not attacking you, I'm saying it as I see it, I think if you look deep enough you will find there is a good heart in there somewhere.
I think it was the online Troll course.
