It’s pickup only with no dining space on site. Which means people can just stand six feet apart and be reasonably safe.

In practice, it's hard to enforce 6 feet when standing in line and anyone who is sick if spreading viral droplets in your vicinity that are carried by wind. I would be concerned having to stand in that line with potential Covid cases.

Assuming you need this, your alternatives would be a food bank, church, or grocery store (for what you could afford, etc).

Given they aren't checking ID's, or taking payment, and that schools tend to have a decent amount of open space, it's probably one of the safer options.

Is that fundamentally different from going to the grocery store?

most people don't go to the grocery store every (or multiple times per) day.

And just like that, the number of people needing food plummets. Big yikes.

The needy rarely have many choices. In this case, go hungry or get sick or both.

No, now would be a terrible time to start testing this.

Now would be a good time to ramp up deployment of such a program if it was already consumer-ready, but testing? No.

Drones are probably reasonable enough in a residential neighborhood of single family homes and duplexes, less practical for a large apartment building (unless they can fly right in the window).

In every group, there's going to be a small percentage of people who are selfish (look at the TP situation). So, how do you keep those people from running out grabbing the supplies each time you drop? You can't possibly drop all the supplies at one time from a drone.

This is a bad time to try drone drops.

Where do you get millions of drones in short order?
