After a week of protests calling for the state to be “reopened,” Kentucky reported on Sunday its highest single-day increase in coronavirus infections. And an Ohio resident who pronounced his state’s stay-at-home order “bullshit” has died of the coronavirus.
The paranoid style in American politics is never at a loss for explanations: another layer of theorizing can always be added to support a rickety conspiracy theory. It’s turtles, or theories, all the way down.
So it’s easy to imagine what the paranoid style — the really, really paranoid style — might make of these deaths: government operatives mingling in the crowds sprayed a chemical on protesters to sicken them and further brainwash the citizenry into believing that the coronavirus is real; government operatives targeted the Ohio resident for speaking out. Or, if you prefer something more outré — the infected protestors and Ohio resident are really “crisis actors,” who serve to further brainwash, &c.
And it’s all in preparation for martial law, coming soon. And it’s turtles all the way down.

So why is it some companies saw this as a challenge and stepped up and figured out how to make things work for their facility: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/20/838557405/this-charmin-factory-keeps-humming-even-as-much-of-america-is-hunkered-down
The comments on the meat packing industry were quite telling. I think a lot of the food issues are due to less plant inspections with USDA and FDA cuts and managers wanting to cut costs how ever they can.
So who will have the more loyal employees.........
And yet I saw an article on 3 Boeing plants re-opening and workers really didn't want to go back.

It’s amazing to me that intelligent planning for safety isn’t a given in all workplaces. Kudos to the Charmin and Totino’s people.
