@cmael, I also wondered about how the transplant picnic would serve food at a picnic. It looks like there were volunteers who served the food, thus eliminating contamination by individuals goint thru the line and self serving. I would be very comfortable eating at this kind of a 'buffet' where the foods are kept at safe temperatures, and served in a controlled safe way.

Yes, the food was all kept in large covered containers. There was your choice of turkey or beef to put on a bun, green beans, pasta salad, and mixed fruit. As I said volunteers served all of it, no cross contamination. The ice cream sundaes were served in another line in a different spot to be gotten later. 😋

@rosemarya. @cmael I think it makes a difference too being outside, not in a closed room where germs are contained, plus we are not in flu season. Perhaps that’s why MGH felt comfortable with a buffet too.
