Major meat suppliers are used to sending a bunch of this stuff to restaurants and when that pipe went dry, they couldn't just get sales contracts/infrastructure in place with grocery stores and wholesale distributors overnight. That's why we're still seeing shortages in supermarkets - the actual processors oftentimes have a limited relationship with those guys. So they have meat/animals that were essentially earmarked for restaurant use and no real way to funnel it to grocery stores for consumer purchase. Just another of the 'well ****, we didn't think of that...' results of just turning an economy off overnight. The disease of "why can't you just..." has created a whole lot of brain rot. |

It's a little more complicated with beef and pork. The workers in the plants themselves are going to cause the supply chain issue on top of what you described. Inspectors want hazard pay, workers are moving that direction as well, and now that plants are finding positive cases in line workers shit could hit the fan fast. Canadian growers have already been warned to expect US plants to tell them to get ****ed via very rarely used contract clauses as the plants cut back to 50% of line production. There's way more to it, but consumers might get a bit of a shock if very many of the lines get halted for very long. |

Remember when just about everyone in the thread was saying this was no big deal?
It's just the flu bro. I was hopeful that was just the case, too, at least for younger people when I first started digging through Chinese pandemic statistics. Unfortunately it isn't. Do you still believe it's no big deal? On average 15,000 to 40,000 people die every year in the USA from flu-like illnesses and complications. This thing has already taken 11,000 and there is no end in sight. This is after all of the precautions, social distancing and shit we've done. 100,000+ are going to die in the USA of this on our current trajectory even accounting for the extreme measures we've put in place. Thank god we didn't listen to you all or millions would end up dying instead of thousands. This is why you listen to doctors and infectious disease experts. If any of you still think this is no big deal? Then you are ignorant and there is no helping you. |
