And what does the gov shut down have to do with meat facilities having their employees infected, thus not able to produce meat?

Has anyone tried the Impossible Burger from Burger King. I'm a meat lover but can't stand turkey burgers. This burger actually had me fooled that it wasn't the real thing. It was really good.

Not much. These have more to do with the companies running these meat plants not adapting to social distance measures fast enough. Putting thousands of people in a small area has put the workers at risk.

Yep, I have tried the Impossible Whopper at BK and I too thought it was pretty good.

There are other foods available, and we can import meat.

Trump forced them to stay open. Poisoning the workers and the counties the plants are in. Maybe if he made the Corporations protect their staff it would have worked out better.

I've been saying this for weeks. This is why the shutdown is worse than the virus. More will die of the results of locking the economy than will or would have ever died of the virus, unless people wise up and demand normalcy.

Maybe or maybe not, but as several posters have noted in this thread the meat shortages are not at all a good example. Arguably, the meat shortages are an example of why more strongent measures may have actually helped since there have been such large outbreaks of the virus in the meat-packing plants.

Perfectly fine to eat if cooked thoroughly. Getting tired of cooking for elderly mom and disabled brother (he loves burgers), so I get fast food some (nuke all a few extra minutes) and cook frozen veggies on the side (to stay somewhat healthy). Easy to load up on bean burrito's too if no beef...they store well in fridg and you can microwave them anytime...getting burned out on them, but they are filling in a crunch and don't give me gas.
