I remember reading about this when it happened last year. I believe I read about it here, at FR.
TB has been a concern to folks in Shelbyville but to my knowlege, no one at the Tyson plant has been diagnosed with it yet. Under the circumstances, it could be only a matter of time though.
I remember when one had to have a health card from the state’s health dept. in order to work around food, whether in a processing plant or in a restaurant, or ANYwhere food was handled. TB was one of the things they checked for. Why this isn’t still done is beyond me.
If that was a question, the answer would undoubtedly be yes...

Great, I like your idea about cutting immigration to 250k. That is the exact number, though arbitrary, that I thought best. Of course, That was only after a complete moratorium on the first year of a five year plan that would increase by 50k increments until the sixth year when it would stay at 250k.
I am not buying anything Tyson makes. I don’t think I ever was into their food. I don’t care for chicken anyway. But now I am going to look into what other products they have to be on the safe side.
