This is what it looks like when you have someone in the Oval Office who wasted a month (February), defunded the NIH and CDC
and has fought off any kind of crazy idea like mandatory testing.
Like mandatory testing for the plants where our food is processed.
The big meat processors have only just started testing their workers...

It's what happens when people are free to do as they please because we don't need any stupid lockdown stay at home orders. When private companies can be free to not do the right thing to provide proper PPE and testing at their companies, the virus spreads and the whole plant has to be shut down.
So now, pork plants are shutting down. I think four in total have been shut down now. I wonder what will happen to beef and poultry plants.
This is just another benefit I get from not eating meat. On top of all the health benefits.
My mom was from Texas so I grew up with half a cow in the freezer along with pork and some poultry.

Sorry all you meat eaters. Those who put money ahead of public health screwed up your sources of cheap meat. Now you won't have the meat and the owners of the processing plants won't have the money.
Looks to me like a very good example of stay at home orders were the right thing to do but I don't expect any of the extremely stupid trump people to see that.
