I don't have an argument, just an opinion. My opinion is that these producers can take the measures to stop the spread in their plants. Up until several weeks ago, I was in these plants weekly. My crews are there daily. The measures they take to secure our food is crazy and why they can't take similar measures to secure their employees health is even crazier. Have you ever been in a meat processing facility?Quote:

You got a green house in your backyard? And does it grow enough to fill 5 million plates?Quote:

And we have been doing that for years. Not covid related at all.
Well of course. No one was arguing otherwise.Quote:

Seems like quite the leap to me.
I don’t know anything about thisQuote:
