Farmworkers sue Washington state over coronavirus protections
“What is our duty to protect essential workers when there is an executive order requiring these employers to operate?”
since they are migrant workers, i.e., illegals, then maybe a solution, if they get sick, is to bill the Messican govt for their hospital care directly related to CCP virus?
or, where’s the national guard unit that will spend their two weeks summercamp picking strawberries? There’s gotta be a MIL standard for that somewhere.

a balanced article from ABC news. I don’t agree with Napolitano, the virus was novel, which meant a test didn’t exist for six+ weeks because China destroyed the original data that might have made it a bit easier for our scientists, and I don’t recall nationwide testing when she was in office, but otherwise a good article that spans a decade:
Governors were warned of a pandemic, told to stockpile. Why didn’t they do more?
...By law, the federal government is just a back-up system to states, so “the reality is that all levels of government need to be prepared for something like this,”...
... Craig Fugate, who headed FEMA under president Barack Obama’s administration, told ABC News that after taking over the agency in 2009 and in the years since, he “noticed an unspoken trend from states to let the federal government handle” key parts of pandemic preparedness.
...Even the state emergency management director who spoke on the condition of anonymity conceded “reliance on the Strategic National Stockpile was always the plan for all the states.”
I think the companies who use those essential workers should be responsible for the Heath, housing and care of the essential workers they bring into the country. If that person draws EBT or other US resources, that company should reimburse the Government plus interest.
Are the companies responsible for this already? Not sure
