The one type of business I want to see still a little more closely regulated is the food processing industry. I cannot see how clean they maintain the equipment or building directly and with the number of cases coming out of some of the processing plants, I have a little concern. I have faith that the big name companies, like Tyson chicken, would prepare and clean the buildings. But I never heard of the company whose pork processing was shutdown for their employees getting COVID-19. So, I would accept the state concentrating on making sure places like those (including Tyson) are kept clean to ensure our food supply is as safe as we can make it (note I did not say safe, just as safe as we can make it - nothing is truly safe).
I think food processing plants could do with some upgrading in general. Not just for China Virus but for other food born pathogens as well. Especially in the meat packing segment.
One area that is always going to be at risk is from the personal working at these places. They are typically lower income undocumented immigrants with little to no access to health care. The same goes for any time we eat at a restaurant. I find humorous that people feel safe ordering food from these places. We have absolutely zero idea of what the people preparing our food may have.
But these risks have always existed and always will. The same government officials screaming fire about people going to work, claim it is somehow safe to fill grocery stores with people.
than get China Virus. In addition with only 14 total deaths so far your odds of death due to China Virus are lower than getting hit by lighting.
