How many in the United States? To die of starvation in the United States I would imagine you would have to have a mental illness or be secluded somewhere that has no public services. If you live anywhere close to a population center, there is absolutely no reason to ever starve. You can eat at meal kitchens every single day if you wanted. It's slop, but you wouldn't die of starvation. Food stamps are quite easy to obtain as well, but I would imagine those that struggle the most with hunger in the USA are large families sad to say and those with mental illness.

There is a British group that helps the homeless and poor all over the world and the US has been one of it's primary destinations , which seems odds for a first world nation. It would be hard to discuss why without getting political.

The problem is you believe there's an alternative. You really believe that the economy is going to return to normal? That if you just open things wide up, consumer spending will return to normal, no supply chains will be disrupted by the virus, and things will be okay? Notice no one ever answers that question, they just complain about how things are now while offering no better alternative. The meat processing plants are the perfect example. You're sitting here complaining about "starvation" from an example from part of the economy that didn't shut down at all, in fact consumer spending in that area probably went up, and it got hammered. |

The point I believe you were making though, is that meat packing plants lack of efficiency as of late will make us go hungry. Which isn't true. The same obstacles that those in poverty face before will exist now, albeit magnified to some degree. |

This shut down has to end, and the reasons are very apparent. Do it in stages, do it as safely as possible. Just remember not one single expert said the Shut Down was to keep people from getting it. They always estimated the same number of people would get it. |

Let's keep this simple. What part of any meat or food shortage is related to shutting the economy down? These meat processing plants never closed or laid anyone off. Answer that question. |
