Food Workers who Have Tested Positive for COVID-19

I would say no because of time lapse between the time it is packaged and the time to the shelves in the store.  However, I do make sure that I wash my hands thoroughly after handling anything I bring home.  I also use lysol wipes to clean my hands on the way home.

Suppose to microwave take out good for about 30 seconds.  We got sandwiches from subway they were crowded but wore gloves and masks.  Meat prices may go up because of the tyson plants,so stock up now. Havent noticed any meat shortages  yet.

Tyson does not supply all the meats.  And "stocking up" is what is causing shortages. Meat prices will go up because they can.  A pound of ground beef was over $8 at the grocery store in my town a couple weeks ago. The price of every thing is going to go up. And eventually the big pay outs will stop.  And there won't be any jobs so there ya go.

My best friend who is in NC and a JWs for 25 yrs said the governing body said there may be some food shortages.

Might not be a bad time to buy some extra canned and non-perishable food.

Just read that many grocery workers have tested positive. No sure witch store or state it's in.  Think the number was 100 thats bad we all need to shop.

I find it hilarious that so many are fussing over this so much. There are several more meat packaging plants than just the ones that have been mentioned. In my local grocery store there has to be at least 12 from all different companies not connected with each other that provide meats of all sorts to my local grocery store. As for food shortages nope not even when they warned us int he news the first time was there any food shortages. Most food shortages anywhere else is because of hoarding.

What difference does it make where shortages come from?It still is an inconvenience for all of us.And for the most part it shows a selfish independent attitude for us.

Love thy neighbor?LOL!

I just wipe everything down and wash my hands afterwards.

Don 't know if the Virus can linger on different surfaces.  But it's best to continue playing it safe.  Although there are still some people who refuse to wear masks.

The mask does not keep you from getting sick. But if it makes you feel more secure to wear one then by all means do so. You may as well get use to it because you are never going to be able to force everyone to wear a "face covering" when in public.  People need to wake up and see the bigger picture.
