Why is Meat Processing a concern?
"Meat processing has a much higher injury and illness rate than the average U.S. factory. Most illnesses are caused by handling bacteria or infected carcasses or tissues."

Not to mention feces, too. Plus, companies have sped up processes to the point where workers do not have time to inspect the carcasses before sending them down the line.

All interesting points. However, back to my point, again, if healthy and under 50, what data is there that shows you are at significant risk? We have increase deaths, which are bad, but it is limited to a focused segment of the population. Why the lockdown for everybody?

That was the blunder. Protect those who are susceptible makes total sense. The misguidance from the WHO about transmission was a big misstep that partly lead to decisions to quarantine erebody.

I worked in that industry for 5 years, and have been to Smithfield multiple times. Meat plants are where happiness goes to die.

From my experience, I've been in meat plants that I would eat off the floor, and I've been in meat plants where I make a note never to buy their product.

It's generally not the gross atrocity stuff like Food Inc makes it out to be.

Okay? What's your point? Are you saying my opinion is incorrect? That's fine if it is, but why do you think "meat plants are being hit hard and not other manufacturing businesses?" That was the question I answered that no one else had in 3 pages.

Now your the third person arguing against me and all I've seen is because of illegal immigrants working there and living together under one roof.

Are there more illegal immigrants working in the meat packing plants than other manufacturing businesses?

New report says coronavirus pandemic could last for two years – and may not subside until 70% of the population has immunity

From the article
"The length of the pandemic will likely be 18 to 24 months, as herd immunity gradually develops in the human population," the report says. "Given the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2" — the virus that causes COVID-19 — "60% to 70% of the population may need to be immune to reach a critical threshold of herd immunity to halt the pandemic."

So at first we were told Herd Immunity was bad but not we're being told we have to reach Herd Immunity. But we're ostracizing the Sweeds ( President included ) for not delaying the inevitable and getting on with it.

Since it was here in "November", it was too late to do anything? People must die so the service industries can survive? Americans response to a pandemic should be business as normal in order to get herd immunity the hard way? No worse than the flu? The models were off? It's WHO and China's fault? Sweden is doing it right? New York and California suck?

Its going to be okay, Mick.
