And so, for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic, North Carolina farmers have had to start euthanizing at least 1.5 million chickens, a state agriculture official told the News & Observer, calling the measure a "last resort."
Most meat plants in North Carolina and nationwide won't disclose just how may of their employees have contracted coronavirus, but the close-packed working conditions have turned the facilities into disease hotspots since the early days of the pandemic.

May the odds be forever in your favor.
Costco was cleaned out on everything but ground beef, lamb, and whole pork tenderloins. Whole chickens were 2.99 a pound up from .99 a month ago.

There isn’t going to be a meat shortage. And you can quote me on that. You can bookmark this and try to spook me later.
Up your vitamin C and Vit D3/K...and make sure you’re getting zinc (don’t over do zinc)
Each report like this increases the demand - just like it did for toilet paper.
Sorry folks, but if you read it in the enemedia, there’s a 101% chance it’s wrong.
There is a shortage presently, but thanks to the fact that we have capitalism (you know, that stuff that actually WORKS), any problems will be resolved.
In Red states, anyway.
Never let fear ruin your profit margins.
Come to my town and see how empty the meat cases are. Then tell me again there is no meat shortage. And this is after they limited how much you could buy about 4 weeks ago.
The store shelves are so bare I feel like Im in a Russian documentary
This IS not going to improve anytime soon. Were waiting 6 months for a processing appointment
That’s what I thought.
i’m a city slicker and even I knew that
There’s about a dozen people on the board who LIVE on bad news.
I feel bad for them because that means they have an abnormal level of fear or they are just not happy.
I’m ####ing miserable but I don’t want my whole family and friends and FRiends here to suffer. :)
LOL
Just my observation. Did pick up an entire USDA prime beef tenderloin for 6.99 a pound 3weeks ago. Some damned fine filets got carved out of that.

Wait! The virus is fading?! PEDDLE MORE FEAR! QUICK!!!
No meat!
No food!
Nothing!
Everyone MUST stay inside and, you know, vote by mail. Just to be safer.

I was just busting your stones.
My grocery store is barren.
The butcher section is closed, and we have Mexican toilet paper.
Ouch. Sorry my friend.

I have two more rolls of Charmin. :)
There are a lot of nuveau-preppers out there, some know what they’re doing, some are leftists frightened out of their minds by their trusted Big Media, to influence the election.
Thats our preferred brand. Extra soft.
Nothing to good for our booties.
Best of luck to you.

Why? Why do vegans and vegetarians want a meat substitute instead of recipes that don’t include meat.
Food, TP, and a good bed are worth the money.
