Wilkes County, North Carolina — Almost 600 workers at a Tyson chicken plant that reopened after being closed for deep cleaning have tested positive for COVID-19, reports CBS Charlotte affiliate WBTV. Tyson said 570 employees and contractors out of 2,244 from the Wilkesboro plant who were tested came up positive.

A majority didn't have symptoms and wouldn't have known they were infected if they hadn't been tested, the company added.

The plant had shut down for five days as a result of a COVID-19 outbreak.

Of the 570, 237 were tested by the Department of Health or their own health care providers. Another 2,007 were tested onsite from May 6 to May 9.

6. It hasn't hit the chicken and pork plants along the OK/AR border but it's just a matter of time.

Everything good or bad takes a while to make it to the land that time forgot.

Dead workers can't vote against me.
Unemployed people can.

8. If we had real testing we'd probably find it's everywhere.

Maybe the gop knew it and suppressed testing.
