how many employees at your site?

reading more and more reports about the big meat processing plants in US and Canada closing (in rural areas that are way behind in the CV spread.)

Those workers stay in much closer proximity for the almost the entire duration of their work I'd think compared to your line of work.

But I would think any industry with large amounts of people in one space are reading the writing and actively trying everything they can to avoid an outbreak.

How much of your job entails people to be closer than 6 feet?

Smithfield Foods in South Dakota is now largest coronavirus hot spot in US
A team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has arrived in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to help with the Smithfield Foods coronavirus hot spot, which has become the biggest single source of cases in the United States.

Eighty of South Dakota's 180 new COVID-19 cases are employees of the meat-processing company, bringing the total to 518 Smithfield Foods employees who have tested positive. There are also now 126 total cases of non-employees that became infected when they came into contact with a Smithfield employee, according to the South Dakota Department of Health.

The 518 employees and 126 non-employees connected to Smithfield makes it the largest cluster in the country (644), according to tracking by The New York Times. The previous top cluster was 585 cases aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt in Guam.
Smithfield announced Sunday that it would be closing its Sioux Falls plant indefinitely Wednesday. The plant has 3,700 employees.

Coronavirus: Florida Gov. DeSantis says unemployment system now up to speed, users still report issues

This is exactly what is not happening.
What I’ve learned about Florida is that the politicians here are more crooked than any other state I’ve lived in. Nobody and I mean nobody I work with has been able to collect unemployment for almost a month now because they can’t get into the website or the phone.

Thank God I’m not holding out hope for this to work. Anyone with kids I feel awful for

I'm guessing 150 people at the site ??? Ish ??? Counting office and 2nd shift ???

People are aware of the shit going on in the world and observe the 6 foot rule as much as possible. But we definitely drift closer than that regularly. When I pass someone in a picking aisle, it's gotta be more like 4 feet apart. That happens many, many times a shift.

Our branches are all pretty much identical and we had 3 positive tests at our Georgia branch.
