Vegas is in dire trouble !!!!

It happened with TP. What will happen if parts of the food industry are next?

 

Still pearl clutching, huh?

 

You forget about what happens before that food gets to the grocery store. I assume you have read what happened in the Tyson plant.

Because we can't keep going that way. At some point that money the government is handing out will become worthless because there won't be enough of anything to buy.

My being, that we do not all have behave the same way. Some can safely go to work with precautions and others would be well advised to stay more isolated.

 

Because the death rate is comparable to the flu. That’s why. Do you become a shut in during flu season so you don’t risk getting other people sick?

 

The link I provided covered all of Vegas. Each district was somewhere between the two extremes I quoted.

 

I love living in Georgia. We're open for business. It's the only rational thing to do given the failure of the virus models and the impending economic collapse in some other states from continued draconian shutdown idiocy. If you have the means get out of Vegas before the proverbial feces hits the fan.

 

How..They have EBT.
And essential work is still going on and telework, there is really no reason why anyone who WANTS to work and earn cant. This whole thing is even barely tolerable BECAUSE democrats never let Republicans fully have their way.

Imagine If these safety nets were not here, and everyone all at one HAD to live off their own savings..Insurance companies and Banks would Tank. People WOULD starve, total chaos.

 

That is a result of the virus...not the reaction to it. What you propose would let the virus grow and CAUSE more plants to shut down.

Some can and some ARE. Notably food plants. You seem to have it backwards

Georgia will be an interesting experiment. Likely a sad one

 

Well, all I can say is that everyone I know is done with the BS. It's the flu. Get it and recover and get back to work. If you die, you die. It's not Ebola or Bubonic plague. You have a 99% chance of recovery and 75% of people won't have any symptoms. That's reality.

 

"The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette."

We are going to have to find a way to keep our food supply open. It may take extreme measures. But there has to be a way or we will run out of food. It is nearly impossible to process food before going to the grocery store without people being in close proximity to each other.

 

"There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," Tyson wrote.

Tyson Foods, which employs roughly 100,000 workers, closed its pork plants in Waterloo, Iowa, and Logansport, Indiana, last week so that workers in those facilities could be tested for the virus.

The Waterloo plant closure came after weeks of public pressure. Production had already slowed there because many of its 2,800 workers had been calling out sick, and local health authorities linked the Tyson plant to 182 cases — nearly half of the county's total."

I dont think so...They closed cause they dont wanna pony up the dough to keep their workers safe..Sorta like Gamestop. Its ok, im sure someone else will step in if they close..the demand will be through the roof, and chickens are everywhere.

And its pretty easy to go shopping...just wear gloves and dont cough on people. If that doesent work for you..Amazon is right there. They take EBT as well.

 

It is pretty obvious you have never been in a food processing plant. You have numerous workers in close proximity.

As far as "pony up the dough to keep their workers safe", I am not sure where you think that dough is coming from, but the price of food will sky rocket. We are in for some rough times.

 

...Umm they better be cleaner then people who go grocery shopping, they handle alot worse then corona. Tyson emplyees getting infected means they were breaking other procedures.

 

I am not sure how any food processing plant can operate without the workers getting infected. All it takes is one infected employee and you have an epidemic within that plant.

 

BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS

Not the reaction to it.

You want to keep food plants open? So do I. The way to do it is to stay the **** home so the virus growth slows down.

Having people run around infecting each other sure isn't going to slow it down and thatt will KILL you Kriman

 

Stay safe and good luck to you. Vegas don't have any perks beside its casino. It need to bring a lot of water from afar to be viable.

I'm quite ancient minded, and I tend to distrust to rely on money games, one of the most reliable source of richness I trust is fertile lands.

 

With proper PPE and safe practices...and LOTS of testing...it can be done

What's your solution...have em all get sick and shut everything down?

 

They have been doing it since the Flu and cold was a thing, nothings changed in the way they SHOULD be operating aside perhaps what regulations they were allowed to be lax on. Not only for employees, but the product as well.

 

Panic much?

 

In spite of what people say, this virus is not the same as a cold or flu. It is much more contagious and it can be spread by people showing no symptoms. There are no regulations for food processing plants which will stop the spread.

 

So they should elect a CEO that will place what should already be there, cause Tyson seems to be the only one with that problem. Sounds to me like they were allowed to get away without them.

 

What's your solution?
Currently the "problem" with plants closing is that too many people are getting sick. Production was slowing before they closed because workers were calling out sick.

More sick people isn't going to fix that

 

A couple days ago in a discussion about economic side effects of the lock down, we were discussing Vegas, and the level of dependency of the city on the casino industries. Of course it's not just the casino employees, but the vast number of goods and service providers that are also exist primarily to support that industry. In effect it is a city far more dependent on the factors which the lock downs have hit the hardest, more than any other place I can think of.

 

Las Vegas is a synthetic city where no city should be. With gambling as the sole raison d'étre, sympathy for it cannot be easily summoned. Perhaps when there is water and something to do besides enrich morally dubious owners, the rest of the country might consider helping out.

 

I don't have a solution and that is the problem. It will take some extreme measures and some of those extreme measures may require that a portion of the population will catch the virus. For most people catching the virus is not a death sentence. However, starving to death is.

Let me hear your solution.
