Beating Covid so fare w/o Lockdown... South Dakota

If that is currently true... that is an interesting fact.
Worthy of policy consideration...

But, it does not change the fear mongering aspect of that Pro Publica piece.
I would want to know how many of the workers died of Covid.
How many had co morbidities.
Without those stats we can't even really decide if it was a go idea to stay open?

Maybe they should have provided context that most of the meat coming from this plant is being exported - and not sold to American consumers. This is all about the profits for the company not about the needs to U.S. citizens.

See the following about meat export --

The deaths, of course, make employees and potential employees fearful. The real problem is that up to 70% of the workforce is out as some plants with COVID-19. The owners clean the plant, get the non-sick employees back in and the disease breaks out again. Repeat the cycle again. Repeat again.... at some point they simply have to stay closed because of insufficient staff. The staff is either sick or refuse to come in.
 
your link does not provide that info.
That cycle thing you are talking about is the exact stuff we should know as country.
How sick are the people with preexisting conditions getting?
Percent hopitalization.
Percent dying.

Are any of those workers getting sick twice after clearing the virus.

Those are things we should all be seeing.
Do you have links to the data?
I don't see much when I search.

Are you trying to claim an article from Reuters on the export on processed hog meat does not provide the numbers and facts on the export data to China and other places?

are you the king of red herrings... or the king of bullshit?
I was asking you for stats about the workers... not the meat exports..

So I looked it up myself.

130,578 workers
4913 Cases
20 deaths...

So what do these figures have to do with the fact that most of the meat is being exported for profit. The claim from Trump is that these processing plants need to stay open otherwise Americans will have a meat shortage. The facts show this is not true. It is all about the owners who donate to politicians making a profit off or foreign sales.
 
On this thread I will focus on Covid and how its impacting workers and you can focus on pork exports.

Just so you know that most of the meat is being exported and we are getting people sick at processing plants to support the Chinese and not feeding Americans.

So Much Winning.

You don't find it sad that people claim food shortages in the U.S. yet food is being exported to The People's Republic of Covid? America first....meh maybe not.
