It just means meat workers will attain herd immunity before the rest of us.

Of course many other things, like UTIs, can cause a temperature spike.

Just a dose of reality since HCQ is off limits.

500 workers at a meat plant in Alberta Canada... And of course, they are all adhering to the ‘stay at home’ orders when they’re not working, so everybody in their family homes will become infected... Leading to thousands of more infections... Sad but true... They didn’t wear mask, worked closely together, their temperatures weren’t checked... All of the precautions they should have taken and started to implement before they shut down the plant.

Workers at factories need to be wearing mask and have their temperatures taken daily. Anything else is unacceptable.

China has lots of meat... We’ll be buying everything from them... Actually, we were already buying a lot from them before this shut down, but with everybody else out of work and China up and running, where else can we buy from?

This happened about a week ago.
I have a very close friend that drives a truck contracted to Tyson.

The Tyson plants are being incredibly proactive. They are making all drivers remain in their trucks and disinfecting every single trailer.

Tyson has also been giving drivers food as a thank you for working so hard to keep up.
My friend has been a driver for years and he said it’s the most appreciative he has ever seen a company behave.

Since we can’t seem to get hyrdrochloriquine, how about a nice zinc tab and a few gin and tonics every day?
