The Iowa Department of Public Health is releasing new information on confirmed outbreaks of COVID-19 at five Iowa workplaces, including one where more than half of employees tested positive.
On Tuesday, Dr. Caitlin Pedati, Medical Director of IDPH, approved the release of testing results of employees at four Iowa meat packing plants and TPI Composites in Newton. Each of the facilities have a confirmed outbreak, meaning 10% or more of the workforce in a single location is sick.
At the Tyson plant in Perry, 730 employees tested positive for COVID-19. That is 58% of their workforce. Iowa Premium Beef in Tama saw 221 positive tests, or 39% of its workforce.
The Tyson plant in Columbus Junction had 221 positive, 26% of its workorce. Tyson’s Waterloo facility had 17% of its employees test positive.
TPI Composites in Newton had 131 positive tests, or 13% of its workforce.
207 Iowans have now died from COVID-19. More than 10,000 Iowans have tested positive.
How Many are illegal aliens You don’t speak English and don’t have a doctor?
3 card monty....they show positive for anti bodys....they become new cases...but in reality they already had it and didnt even know ..
They are playing fast and loose...testing positive does not equate to being infectious.
All the illegals are infected. Your next steak will be sauteed with Chicom cooties.
Hopefully >80% of us will soon “test positive”.
Threat over...for most.
How many are out sick with it?
There were comments on FB, “Oh, they are MAKING them go back to work, or they lose their job.”
Only if they are sick and showing symptoms. Yes, DPA!
I do all of the running for my family, the collective immune system is falling rapidly with social distancing. More sickness ahead!
Quarantine the sick and elderly!
Deliberate.
The Columbus Junction plant is near me. Mostly illegals and second generation.
But to be honest, few hourly people seem to have regular doctors. It is viewed as an unneeded expense.
