1. My chef from school worked in meat packing plant before come a teacher he wore cut resistance clothes and worked in frig
   Was shown years later they used heat bleach and cold under 40 below to clean that process killed almost everthing know to man

2. Well today was my first day wearing a mask at work and now i have a major headache runny nose and feel congested. Yet been working every week and before today had no sign of any sickness. I also have one eye that is all red from the mask everytime i exhale it goes right into my eye along with whatever particles fell onto the mask. And also this is a good one for all you consumers any one wearing a bump cap and mask when they breath out causing condensation that collects on the brim of the cap and then can drip onto the products. Then lets talk about mental health and how working 9 hours a day wearing a mask and not able to see a single smile on a persons face 😥 When you work in a loud environment all you have is facial expressions to go off of most the time. Screw all you snowflakes that have forced us to wear them or be without income. I even asked to be laid off permanently so i can at least collect unemployment while i search for better safer work but nope. Looks like i will die from work just like 2 of my brothers😞

6. Haha…….. did western know how Chinese government protect workers?
   Their working contracts are forced to resign each year, so their Salary is increased as long as economic keeps going up.

7. Its started in Wuhan -> Trump handling the pandemic -> meat handlers keeps working equivalent disaster.

8. Al-Qaeda has done more damage then any terrorist attack. Our economy is in trouble

9. No corporate blanket Immunity!

10. America has been hoodwinked and all of the news networks know it, but they continue to push the current narrative. The number of people that have died from the coronavirus (flu) is about the same number that died during the 2017-2018 flu season. During this time their was no lockdown or hysteria. Now these networks have blood on their hands from the people that have committed suicide and they are responsible for the families that are struggling to put food on the table. No one at ABC has the courage to report the truth. And Bill Gates is in bed with the World Health Organization, along with China. Do not let anyone enforce a mandatory vaccine on you and your family. Do not let anyone place a chip in your body. Who stopped the world and made Bill Gates king? It’s time to stand up and take our nation back. If you can, join protests. Tell your family and friends about how the media is lying to us. They want us confused. They want us to do the government shuffle.

11. I'm cutting eating meat down, how it impacts the globe is my concern…with covid -meat is not healthy.

12. Yeah, COVID-19 meats don't sound too delicious to me.

13. If you're upset by the mistreatment of these workers (or the animals involved), but still eat meat, you're not really that upset about it. Actually, you are their oppressor. Vote with your wallet.

14. Meat is not essential. I haven't had any in 2.5 years. In fact, aren't some farms dumping extra vegetables and other produce because of a huge surplus? Sounds like there's enough food. It's just that Americans don't realize that killing and eating animals is unnecessary… or they don't want to.

15. Why did Italy have no problems with their food supplies ?

16. 工場はクラスターなりやすい環境よな

17. We can always become vegetarians. No problems at all.

18. ABC News At It Again: Tara Reade Would Be Second #MeToo Story The Network Has Burried

19. Revelation 6:6&8 is hitting us now!

20. Corporate consolidation will end is all.

21. As low paid essential workers, we are lambs to slaughter.

22. For break rooms, they should eat outside or in their cars. Unless you are Mike Pence and have immunity then you can do what you want.

23. Mike Pence needs to visit those meatpacking plants and spray Jesus's blood on everyone so they will be immune like him.

24. Smithfield is owned by China?

25. All worker wear masks please to protect each other

26. everyone on one hand say they don't believe any of this and want the country to open but other hand the want to be safe but open country but not plants are not on that list you people have issues.

27. Stop eating meat. Stop eating animals. It is not essential.

28. I work 70+ hours/week, distributing their products.
    The news has been at my work 3 times, since this started.
    They always twist the truth, in order to make things seem scarier than they are.
    Only air segments of interviews, or interviews with people which fit their narrative of fear.
    It's silly.

29. More USDA inspectors needed in these plants. Stop being so cheap and pay for more inspectors. And make damn sure your workers are safe and not sick. God help us all. Plant a garden be self sufgicent as much as you can.

30. What's happening with the meat packaging plants is just nuts. But with other produce and dairy, It seems to me that a simple solution should be to just re-route the products to the processing plants that put it all into grocery stores. I get that they probably couldn't handle all of it, but they should be able to handle a significant increase and ramp up production, which in turn would help reduce the shortages in stores.

31. Unfortunately trump, his cultists and GOP have shown they don't care. That them and their families are expendable for a dollar.

32. NO IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY WITH TRUMPET AND HIS PEOPLE.

33. Good riddance.

34. This is making it easy to not eat meat😔

35. 😱😱😱

36. I feel for the Mexicans working in these places, lousy salary, treated poorly.
