More meat woes...
The recent Tyson plant closures mean that about 18% of hog-slaughtering capacity is completely offline. Glendinning says the supply chain has been “dramatically interrupted.”
“If you look at USDA public data, you will see that pork and beef production across the industry is down 20% to 30%. That’s 20% to 30% less meat arriving at your table. That creates a very significant problem for farmers, as well,” he said. “Remember, these folks are growing animals that are going to be ending up on your table, and they have no place to go.”.

USDA Inspector Reported to Die Amid Meat-Plant Viral Outbreaks
Deena Shanker and Lydia Mulvany, Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) — An inspector from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has died after apparently contracting Covid-19, according to information the federal agency provided Thursday during a phone call with consumer groups.
The USDA didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Two participants on the call corroborated that the death was disclosed on the call.
“If USDA had acted more quickly to ensure worker safety, they could have prevented the disease from spreading across the meat industry as it has,” says Sarah Sorscher of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, who was on the call. “Instead, we have massive shutdowns and worker deaths. All that delay and lack of action is going to make it much harder to bring these outbreaks under control.
