Why is it meat specifically that's having outbreaks like this? Is there no other industry in America that stuffs tons of people into a cramped factory and didn't shut down?

production of a lot of things is largely automated, unlike breaking down animal carcasses which the meat industry turned from a skilled union (white) man’s occupation in places like the Chicago stockyards to mostly being done by immigrants in the south and other anti union states. so while before the union meatman was able to know and break down a carcass himself, the modern production line is like 50 people shoulder to shoulder, each performing one cut or action.

for example there have been only two cases nationally at purina plants, largely due to kibble production being automated, so the plant has few workers to begin with and they mostly are there to make sure the machines are running

History of The White House Gift Shop®

Established 1946 by President Truman and Members of U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Exclusive Trademarks


Shown Above is the USTPO Trademark: The United States Patent and Trademark Office Recognized the Legacy of the "Only Official Original" White House Gift Shop and Granted Sole, Exclusive, and Primary Trademark Registration Protections to The White House Gift Shop® and The White House Gift Shop, Est. 1946 and by Law all Variants Thereof




The origin of the White House Gift Shop began as The White House Flower Fund which was renamed The White House
Police Benefit Fund on September 9, 1946 by President Harry S. Truman and permantly ordered in 1951 by presidential memorandum.




The White House Police Fund's objectives were to provide flowers when a member had a death in their immediate family and to present a special gift to retiring White House Police (now the Uniformed Division of United States Secret Service) members.


On November 1, 1950, White House Police Officer Leslie Coffelt was killed and two other Officers, Joseph Davidson and Donald Birdzell, were injured while defending President Truman during an assassination attempt at Blair House. Following this assassination attempt and the heroic actions of Officer Coffelt, President Truman by permanent Presidential Order in coordination with then Chief of Secret Service, James Rowley and Army Brigadier General Harry Vaughan, enlarged the mission of the White House Police Fund which was renamed The White House Gift Shop, Est. 1946.

Today, The "only original official" White House Gift Shop, Est., 1946 in White House History continues to actively support Law Enforcement Departments or Agencies by funding special advanced firearms training and by purchasing safe and effective arms for departments often in smaller jurisdictions with limited advanced training budgets. If you are a rural or smaller law enforcement entity. for more information about The White House Gift Shop's programs for arming your department (typically up to 70 officers) and providing world-class advanced LEO firearms training, on-site, e-mail giannini@whitehousegiftshop.com.

at least a portion of the proceeds are being used to... arm rural police departments

yeah it's rad to see we've almost kept a lid on this poo poo, but there's so much travel around here I really think we'll have multiple additional lockdowns in the future until the whole country is cured :/

san francisco and oakland could have easily been 75% as bad as nyc
tons of homeless and poor, everyone in way too little space

nyc subway alone probably directly responsible like 40% of those infected and bart isnt as impacted

CA has done a great job, maybe a week or so late to stay at home statewide

LA county has high infection numbers because we actually make tests trivially easy to get

Also we have all the people

If your county doesn't have a lot of infections, it's because it doesn't have much going on

but that shouldn't have that much to do with like, human to human transmission. It just increases animal to human exposure. There's probably other industries that keep people in similar proximity to one another, are those industries seeing clusters of infection?

There are other factors mentioned earlier, like cramped conditions, spotty inspections, and reliance on an immigrant work force which is intimidated to keep violations from being reported.

But something about working in a corpse factory dripping with viscera and body fluids makes you more likely to get sick

no, two of the trials are to see if it works on covid patients as a medicine, but the rest are just comparing two groups of people who either have it or not over a longer period of time and then comparing infection rates. However, many of them are being done on at-risk hospital employees who are at a heightened risk of contracting it
