Coronavirus infections in at least 17 meat processing plants across nine states are contributing to a spike in confirmed cases in the Midwest.

COVID-19 Patients Need to Be Tested for Bacteria and Fungi, Not Just the Coronavirus
Many hospitalized victims are developing potentially lethal secondary coinfections such as bacterial pneumonia and sepsis

yup, we’re gonna have to mosey on down there and fix them. But their story is the same for a lot of SA socialized medicine. Corruption and graft takes a major share of hospital-earmarked funding.
