When I went to Walmart last Friday, there was an older gentleman standing outside the doors greeting everyone and advising them to use the taped off pharmacy entrance by simply ducking under the tape.
Everyone who entered here, including myself, walked right past him. He was very friendly, he greeted me, I greeted him on the way in and the way out. I’m worried about him. That’s a damn hazardous job he has.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA - Four employees of a major poultry producer’s operations in rural southwest Georgia have died after becoming infected with the coronavirus, a company spokesman said Friday.
Tyson Foods spokesman Gary Mickelson said three of the employees worked at the company’s chicken processing plant in Camilla, while the fourth person worked in a supporting job outside the plant. He declined to say how many workers there have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus.
American workers who process the nation’s meat have proven especially susceptible to the new virus, as they work shoulder-to-shoulder on production lines. Several U.S. plants have closed because of outbreaks, including a large plant owned by Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, that produced roughly 5% of U.S. pork before it was shut down after more than 500 workers became infected.
Mickelson said two other Tyson Foods workers have died from the virus at its plant in Columbus Junction, Iowa.
