"There is no *reported* transmission via food,"

You haven't looked. Not looking is not the same as not transmitting. I'm asking you to test it. How long does it live on meat? Up to 18 days on hard surfaces, yeh, but how long on meat?

This is a weird situation, normally, you get an infectious disease in food production and the plant would be immediately closed, cleaned and fixed. People would walk around muttering "Typhoid Mary" CDC would move in, do their job and it would be fixed. People would have confidence in the food production because they have confidence in the CDC.

But now we have Trump and its all uncharted, contaminated meat production plants remain open because they quid-pro-quo'd Trump.

Typhoid Mary lessons all forgotten.

"COVID-19 Detected At Meat Processing Plants In 19 U.S. States [Infographic]"

"A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that COVID-19 has now been detected at 115 meat processing plants in 19 U.S. states.

Over 130,000 people are working in affected plants and 4,913 (3%) of them tested positive for COVID-19 between April 20 and 27, 2020. "

Lets take an infectious virus we already know about, hepatitis A. It IS transmissible via food:

"AC who seems to have a vested interest in spreading the most restrictive practices"

YES THIS. Wear the mask, do the full quarantine, it takes about 4-5 weeks of PROPER enforced quarantine and then the virus is gone. Why prolong it with half assed quarantine?

Why keep undermining it? Why all the needless deaths and internet bullshit? Why?

Why does grandma have to die needlessly because Fox News doesn't want you to wear masks? Why? Why? Why?
