    Re: meatpacking plants

    If you've ever been in one, you aren't shocked they are hot spots. Workers are often shoulder-to-shoulder. You can't socially distance when you're killing, bleeding and butchering a cow. Plus, they have micro-environments where there's a constant breeze caused by the cold rooms and the doors (or, more likely, big plastic curtains) opening every few seconds.

    Anyway, here's a map of C19 outbreaks in the food chain.

    She has deserved it from the beginning because of her nodding along with the imbecile at these "briefings".

    Just yesterday on John Boy & Billy, Johnny was congratulating states for opening up then followed that up with "... but we've got a Democrat for a governor."

    The article attached is eye opening. It says that we're flat at about 150k tests per day, and we need a number more like 5m per day. Test and find the asymptomatic carriers and make *them* stay home while you trace and test their contacts.

    They'd like to get it to 20m per day over the summer to try to lock it down. No way that happens without federal government involvement.

    Saw today that Virginia ranks 49th in COVID testing. Only Kansas was worse. Great.

    It's becoming more and more obvious what needs to be done.
