Discussed during the interview:

Across the country, major meat processors are starting to shut down plants as employees are getting infected by coronavirus.

Tyson (TSN), one of the world's largest meat processors, suspended operations at its Columbus Junction, Iowa, pork plant this week after more than two dozen workers contracted Covid-19 there. Tyson said it would divert livestock that was headed to Columbus Junction to other pork plants in the region to minimize the impact on its production.

JBS USA, another major meat processor, has stopped operations at its beef plant in Souderton, Pennsylvania with plans to reopen April 16, after two weeks. The company decided to close the facility after several members of the plant's management team stopped going to work because they were experiencing flu-like symptoms, a company representative explained, adding that all other JBS USA's plants are still open. Cargill has also paused operations at its protein plant in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, where 900 people typically work.

"The smart money would say that it will be an issue at more plants, we just hope they don't all overlap at the same time," she said. "If it expands to more plants it becomes a serious issue."

Producers would "suddenly have nowhere to go," she said. If local outbreaks mean closures of a number of regional plants, producers used to selling their products locally could run out of options. For those producers, "it is a crisis."

Pretty sure quite a few working employees came down with flu like symptoms, but when it hits management...crisis!

At our plant management has self-isolated to their offices. Which is pretty nice. No more constant bitching about the smallest of mundane matters while employees set production records not seen since 2012.

Glenn Beck: "What should people be doing right now."
Thomas Massie: "They should be telling the governors to turn the economy back on. They should put masks on. They should quit listening to people who say that masks don't work. They should put a mask on. The employers should provide masks. When you get to work, we need the cheap tests quickly. We need to know who has some immunity conferred to them because they had it and recovered. We need to know who's got the virus and needs to stay home. Instead of locking down all of the united states we just need the ones who are sick to stay home. Those who are carrying the virus. We have to be smarter."

Fire Dr. Fauci and hire Thomas Massie to run this thing!
