so this could really blow up if even a few smithfield employees took off and got jobs at some of the other packing houses, dairies, or creameries that are abundant in eastern SD. I work in the cafeteria of the JBS plant in Worthington, MN where they've been spraying down everything that doesn't move 24/7 for 3 weeks. Sanitizer bottles all over the place, and since Tuesday you now need a mask to come in the building.
There are plenty of workers commuting from Sioux Falls. Tuesday I heard we had out first confirmed case in the plant, from SF. Now there's rumored to be about 10, most of them from Sioux Falls. Nobles County didn't have a confirmed case until last Saturday.. now there are 12 not counting the SF people. Something like 200 people didn't come to work today due to either sickness, quarantine, fear, or just lazy bastards after a "vacation" .
So FU very much to irresponsible Kristi Noem and Smithfield (note: Minnehaha county now has more cases than Hennepin county, MN with less then 1/5 the population). Be just great if we get shut down and I lose my job because a governor too stupid to tell people to stay home dropped their outbreak on us.
You work in an essential occupation facility, none of those are getting shut down until they go to shit in any state. Noem should have shut down Smithfield sooner, but that wouldn't have stopped the illegals from just sliding down the pipeline.
Noem should have pushed for it to be shut down sooner, but a statewide declaration wouldn't have stopped this as it was am essential businesses and the damage was already done by the time the public knew about a big outbreak.
Besides if a statewide stay at home meant anything, why the fuck is SD inundated with blue liscense plates this week? And it's not the iowegians.
I said this weeks ago, our country is fucked because of the arrogamt selfish people we have that put their wants before the needs of their neighbors.

If you've wondering why the beaches in Florida are open again
LOL. DeSantis was used to the N95 mask, with straps going the opposite direction.
3M N95 MODEL 8210 Particulate Respirator Face Mask
Speaking of straps going the opposite direction (  )Maybe not the week to poke fun at DeSantis, when the gubernatorial "runner-up" Andrew Gillum (D), he beat from the opposite party, had an infinitely worse Coronavirus break time.

Well this is escalating quickly. In 24 hours Nobles county has gone from 12 cases to 36. My night shift supervisor's mother and sister have tested positive (I don't know if they work at the plant or got it somewhere else) so now he's getting tested and if he tests positive the whole cafeteria night shift (that means me) gets sent home for 2 weeks to see if we drop dead. Have a nice day.

Hope you have kept your distance from your mother, I know you keep a close eye on her. Take care and we'll keep you in our prayers.
China's Digital QR Codes...under what (if any) circumstances would you be comfortable with something similar in the States??
China is fighting the coronavirus with a digital QR code. Here's how it works
Imagine your daily routine being entirely dependent on a smart phone app. Leaving your home, taking the subway, going to work, entering cafes, restaurants and shopping malls — each move, dictated by the color shown on your screen. Green: you're free to proceed. Amber or Red: you're barred from entry.
This has been the reality for hundreds of millions of people in China since midway through the coronavirus crisis — and it could yet stay that way for the foreseeable future, as the country battles to recover from it.Relying on mobile technology and big data, the Chinese government has used a color-based "health code" system to control people's movements and curb the spread of the coronavirus. The automatically generated quick response codes, commonly abbreviated to QR codes, are assigned to citizens as an indicator of their health status.
Although authorities have yet to make the health codes compulsory, in many cities, citizens without the app wouldn't be able to leave their residential compounds or enter most public places.
Three months on, with the virus largely contained and lockdown measures gradually lifted across most of China, the small square barcodes have remained in place and are still ruling people's lives.

I don’t care who you are. Please be safe. Please keep the people around you safe. However you need to make that happen please do. You are worth it!
That made me realize how much I miss Cheers...

Cheers and Mash reruns after the 10 o clock news were the reason I was late for school almost my entire academic career.
