“All I know is, this is crazy to me, because I can’t see all these people going back into work,” said Donald, who works at Tyson’s Waterloo, Iowa, facility. “I don’t think people are going to go back in there.”
Donald asked to be referred to by his first name only. He is currently recovering after testing positive for the virus.
“I’m still trying to figure out: What is he going to do, force them to stay open? Force people to go to work?” he asked.
This isn't a hypothetical what if conversation at all.
The choices for people to work or not have been happening since day one of the Covid-19 crisis. As I have stated before, I have two sons, both working in a retail environment (Target/Fleet Farm) where the stores remain open and where employees are given the option of continuing to work or taking a furlough. One of my sons has chosen to take the time away, while the other has chosen to go back to work. In both employment situations a small minority of people have taken the option to furlough, while the vast majority have continued working.
So far none of our Targets, Cub Foods, McDonalds, Fleet Farms, Kwik Trips, or any other type of industry that remains open are having any issues finding people to work. Many of these industries are customer facing, meaning they have interaction with a variety of people every day. There is way less control over these retail situations than what could be done in a more static environment such as an office or a plant.
Will "all" of the workers choose to go back to work? Probably not. But enough of them will that these meat plants will remain open and functional as long as their is a financial incentive to do so. If we can force auto-manufacturers to continue to work and build ventilators (for example) we can certainly justify keeping our food supply moving along. Not sure why someone thinks this is a story, or by interviewing one person who contracted the disease that they have any real evidence to back up the assertion.
I find it amusing that the same people who criticized the President for not using his executive powers to force companies to keep our medical supply chains in tact are now criticizing him for using executive powers to keep our food supply chain in tact. It doesn't do us any good to have medicine if there is no food to eat.

The Left are against what Trump is for.
In this case the fat ass leftist eat meat. But, they are clueless how it gets to their meat case.
After all they hold dear the opinion that is Ranchers/Farmers are low grey matter humans.

I wouldn't give odds on their survival if civilization completely collapses.
Could someone explain to Mike Pence that the mask doesn't go over your eyes please.
More Americans have died than we lost in the Vietnam war.
And?

Roger, repeating his error.
The Pandemic came from China .
Roger, what exact Date did speaker of the House warn the people of the coming China Virus?
Party w/Palsy
"It’s exciting to be here, especially at this time, to be able to be unified with our community,” Pelosi said on Feb. 24. “We want to be vigilant about what is out there in other places. We want to be careful about how we deal with it, but we do want to say to people ‘Come to Chinatown, here we are — we're, again, careful, safe — and come join us.'”
Feb. 5th Palsy throws hissy fit, tears up Trumps State of the Union Speech.
The speech warned of the coming Pandemic from China.
but we do want to say to people ‘Come to Chinatown, here we are —
"try the bat soup!"
March 25....Don the fucking moron praised china for the great job they were doing to contain the virus....!!!!! Trump did nothing!!!!!!
what was that BWAA?
The Fat Bottom Girl Troll Denise never addresses and issue.
While the goat fucking asshole just babbles like an idiot!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAA!!!
Nancy Pelosi and Schumer are demanding full funding of the failed WHO.
Why remove the science.

Congratulations Cuomo. Your not shutting down the subways and handling nursing homes like Italy cost almost as many lives as the rest of America in total. And imagine if Trump didn't take drastic actions which greatly reduced the totals from the multi-millions expected by models.
And imagine many dems thought Cuomo should replace Biden.
Well they still may be right !!!
Trump said existing coronavirus social distancing guidelines – set to expire with the end of April – will not be extended further; Jared Kushner called the coronavirus crisis "a great success story” as the U.S. death toll crossed 60,000, with more than one million COVID-19 cases confirmed.

Remember the Hong Kong flu?
...
In 1968–69, the Hong Kong flu ravaged the world; it wound up killing more than one million people worldwide, over 100,000 of them in the United States.
...
Hundreds of thousands were hospitalized in the U.S. as the disease hit all 50 states by Christmas 1968. Like COVID-19, it was fatal primarily to people older than 65 with preexisting conditions.
The Encyclopedia Britannica pointed out the highly contagious nature of the disease: "Indeed, within two weeks of its emergence in July in Hong Kong, some 500,000 cases of illness had been reported[.] ... The 1968 flu pandemic caused illness of varying degrees of severity in different populations. For example, whereas illness was diffuse and affected only small numbers of people in Japan, it was widespread and deadly in the United States."
The Hong Kong flu still exists today. The Centers for Disease Control note, "It was first noted in the United States in September 1968[.] ... The H3N2 virus continues to circulate worldwide as a seasonal influenza A virus."
Fund notes that a retired professor of medicine, Philip Snashall, noted in the British Medical Journal that his two-year-old daughter was the first known case of the Hong Kong flu in Europe. He wrote, "How things change. The stock market did not plummet, we were not besieged by the press, men in breathing apparatus did not invade my daughter's play group."
But now hysteria rules the day, and the left is gunning for collapse on all fronts.
Who can forget when Bill Maher wished the economy would crash and trigger a recession so Trump would lose in 2020?
Maher wasn't some lone aberrant voice. He spoke for his comrades

iconic North Woods, where they once would have been harder to find.
Frelich, the director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Forest Ecology, thinks that if the state's warming trend remains unchecked, such subtle changes will become starker and more devastating in the decades ahead. He thinks the boreal forests that soak up huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could disappear entirely, taking with them a third of the state's native species of trees, flowers, birds and pollinators.
In an extreme scenario, he has warned, prairie land could expand across much of Minnesota by 2100, upending everything from the timber industry to tourism to the state’s very identity.
“Minnesota could become the new Kansas,” he said. “We have a perfectly good Kansas now. We don’t need a second one in Minnesota.”
Frelich is among a small army of scientists working to understand the subtle but unmistakable shifts that are unfolding in one of the nation's fastest-warming states — shifts that he and others say will become more profound and troubling in the hotter future that lies ahead.
They are running ambitious experiments that simulate rising temperatures with heat lamps and underground wires, use computer models to decipher where certain species might thrive and involve planting trees from as far away as South Dakota that might one day take the place of native species stressed by heat.
98% of stupid goat fuckers live in western kansas on unearned property....!!!!
“Minnesota could become the new Kansas,” he said. “We have a perfectly good Kansas now. We don’t need a second one in Minnesota.”

Any asshole see the Jared Kushner claiming the govmt response is a resounding success and according to trump....the virus will just disappear all by itself???????? The sound of slurping is deafening!!!!!
So testing is more important in this then actual deaths.
Fat Bottom Girl Denise is always shifting, zero foundation.
creepy Joe likes little girls.
"But new disclosures – made not by one of the country’s major news organizations but by Business Insider – have finally put the story on the media radar.
The website quoted a former neighbor, Lynda LaCasse, as saying that Reade told her, in 1995 or 1996, that she had been assaulted by Biden: "I remember her saying, here was this person that she was working for and she idolized him. And he kind of put her up against a wall. And he put his hand up her skirt and he put his fingers inside her. She felt like she was assaulted, and she really didn't feel there was anything she could do...She was crying. She was upset. And the more she talked about it, the more she started crying. I remember saying that she needed to file a police report."
Wow the goat fucker posting his own brand of drivel as he revels in bidens alleged travails.......I am sure most voters will hold biden to the same standard you held trump.....>BWAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Did you catch the CBS news last night? They were telling America to ignore the big breakthrough with the drug Remdesivir, to ignore the stock markets rebound from below 19000 to 24600. To ignore some states opening back up. They say we must continue to be miserable. Anything to keep Trump from reelection.
