County officials’ tally of COVID-19 infections among workers at a newly reopened Tyson Foods plant is double the state’s count, officials said Thursday.
about 37 percent of the plant’s 2,800 employees, according to the AP. That’s more than twice the figure the state had cited a day earlier.
Well, I guess declaring meat plans an essential industry might not keep them open after all.
This virus’s lack of respect for our government is just appalling.
So let me get this right workers are affected but the meat is not right ? Oh this was the Governor who thought it was funny looking for a word to describe who couldn’t get unemployment benefits if they “oh what is that word I’m looking for QUIT yeah thats it Quit”.
This is not just Waterloo, Iowa by any stretch. Meat-packing plants are becoming COVID-19 epicenters throughout the Midwest. They’re cold, people operate close together, and until the recent attention they’ve gotten as superspreading locations, have apparently been doing very little to protect employees and prevent spread.
You would think so, but no, we clearly cannot obviously. And we’re loosing to the side that says cheeseburgers are more important.
There have been over 160 strikes and protest for safer working conditions and rent deferments since march but the only protest that the MSM covers is the 20 rednecks screaming to open everything up as it was.
Rather generous of you. In a trolly choice between a chuckhouse vending machine hamburger and McConnell, I’d be breaking out the disposable ketchup and mustard packs.
