None of what you said int his post directly attributes the loss of man hours equivalent to a complete loss of production to the infection. It's due to people not working out of fear of infection. I don't disagree that at the height of a cluster of infections (not against calling it an outbreak but just referring specifically to a given plant) could cause said plant (any) to be forced to temporarily shut down. Keeping them closed, however, is not in such a case attributable to the infection, but to the lockdown. Even if every single worker were hospitalized simultaneously and half were unwilling to return immediately, which would be a worst case scenario, limited production could resume within days, particularly if they're allowed to hire whoever is willing. However, in no case has even a third of a plant's workforce been infected and of those infected, none of the stories you've linked have said how many were hospitalized.Therees more than 2 dude. Thats just 2 I showed you.
Pork processing plants have been hit especially hard, with three of the largest in the country going offline indefinitely— Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, JBS pork processing in Worthington, Minnesota and Tyson Fresh Foods in Waterloo, Iowa. Together, the three plants account for approximately 15 percent of pork production.
Companies scramble to contain the outbreaks by closing more than a dozen U.S. plants so far.
See where is says more than a DOZEN????
There's so many shutting down tRUmp signed an executive order to keep them open. Workers said they aint comin in without better protections.
