Many thousands more have stopped going to work, either because they are required to quarantine at home in the face of possible exposure to the virus or simply because they refuse to labor under what many say were unsafe working conditions.

We have a higher rate of infection than New York and the plants are still running here.
They are supposedly at a reduced capacity, though. There are only so many 90 hour weeks a human can handle.
