Areas near meat processing plants seeing twice the growth rate in confirmed #COVID-19 infections as the rest of the nation. Industry says more testing is the reason, but 58% of one plant’s workforce was infected, while it is estimated * around 4% for places like California’s major urban areas.
* two studies, based on community testing

I'm expecting my county's #CoVID-19 infection rate to increase now that masks are "encouraged but not required".

Why meatpacking plants have become #COVID-19 hot spots ... and why most businesses will need to make some rather difficult changes in a #coronavirus world. #2019-nCoV

> Being forced to undergo lockdown when their region saw a scant handful of cases, just because some nightmare bugman city got hit hard
And thanks to masses of protesters in close quarters and without protection, those regions are starting to see some growth in cases.
We all know that we can't keep things completely shut down for the 2-3 years minimum it will take to get complete control over the virus' spread, but if the protesters cannot even figure out how to minimize spreading #COVID-19 at their rallies, it will be a long, rough slog for us. https://nu.federati.net/url/269743
They're not making a good case that we're anywhere near ready for opening up when their behavior shows the very opposite. Show behaviors that slow the spread even without being locked in one's home and other people will see that they can trust other people to act in ways that minimize damage to their own health.

I was in an auto repair shop today. I was the only person in the building that was wearing a face mask. If one or two employees were mask free, I'd know it was their choice. But when 100% of employees are mask free, I suspect it was a management choice to "avoid scaring customers, no matter how many employees get sick as a result".

confirmed #COVID-19 infection rates higher in counties with “major” meat processing plants after #Trump ordered the plants reopened. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/meat-packing-counties-more-covid-19-cases [www foodandwine com]

Scientists say it is too early to conclude that a mutation supercharged #COVID-19 transmission, evidence is scant. Fighting back against widely publicized pre-print that makes the claim, they say it needs peer review.

During today's #videochat with #sonOne, we talked about network stuff (CLNS, IS-IS, OSPF, token ring, FDDI, the OSI protocol stack, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX), job-hunting, updates on #sonTwo's work status and #Daddy_A's birthday ( did I mention that "we" ordered his NAS box? ), vehicle repairs, Star Wars/Mandalorian, imported Japanese-market Transformers toys, and idiotic people whose behaviors are putting other people at risk for #COVID-19. Oh, and fried chicken places.
What did not happen:
Usually, #GD1 and #GD2 join us for 10-30 minutes; occasionally his wife joins us. Today, none of them joined.

Almost 1/3 of cumulative confirmed #COVID-19 cases are in the US. Part of that is just “free dumb” people who object so strongly to someone else telling them what to do that they endanger themselves and others by disobeying. Also, as I told someone earlier today (US-Pacific), bosses/managers can and will overrule people’s common sense if we allow it.
#sonOne told me he went to #Target yesterday and saw a couple (sans face masks, naturally) that had cornered an employee to tell the guy how dumb it was that employees have to wear masks at work.

My nephew used up his days off, so he returns to work today, after a month off. When he left, they'd had some employees diagnosed with #COVID-19. The organization was telling people to stay six feet / two meters apart, but expecting the same output from a process that was not designed for such distancing.
