Got meat? Got tuna cans? Got nuts? Got rice and beans?

In my surveys of state and county CV data, spikes in cases are often associated with increased test results from:

1. nursing homes;
2. "meat processing" towns;
3. prisons.

On food, the problems around pork and beef processing plants in the Midwest are now showing up in poultry processing facilities in GA and Delmarva. As a result, many are too sick to go to work, or are too afraid, so plants that aren't being closed can take in less animals. DE news reported one poultry-growing operation is prepared to slaughter 2 million chickens.

If there's no meat on the shelves, expect to see runs on canned meat and tuna, nuts, and vegetarian protein sources.

but if there's no meat, there's no meat. I'll be ovo-lacto vegetarian for the duration. It's going to be hard on the keto people tho.
