I call bullshyt if they really had a shortage they would not be telling the public. This is to create panic and people going out buying more than they need.
Plants really are closing down tho because hundreds of people are testing positive at meat plants.
Grocery stores are thriving more than pretty much any other business during these times.
Whats the motivation to lie? People have already been buying more than that need for about 2 months now.

The meat companies like tyson (who produce around 20% of the meat we eat) been asking the government for bail out money too.

So this state of the supply chain potentially being broken could be a stretch if the truth.

However working in a meat processing place before it is the perfect place for bacteria and viruses to spread. Most the workers are poor, work close together, are poor to extremely poor and live in rural areas. So it is a perfect place for the virus to spread without resistance. So in that sense yeah the supply chain can be broke because its a single point of failure if they have a massive outbreak at multiple plants.
That's true but they can simply hire different people. They could also move production to dog food plants (Dog food is mainly parts that humans in the west don't eat,) The problem isn't the animals the problem is the processing.

That being said I assume that more development is going to be put in using robots to process animals in the future.

Breh its very hard to use high tech robots in meat packing. The costs will outweigh the low cost labor. Second the meat plants are often times one of the few gigs in town and are spread out to across the country in small towns. There are just so many folks that can do the work. Its not like its a high paying job and its 1000s of people outside to cut up chickens and cows in refrigerated conditions for slightly above minimum wage. Plus the jobs are hella dangerous. When I worked in meat processing kats were getting hurt of not every day it was every other day.

Second you can't use a dog processing plant to make food for humans. The requirements are different and I highly doubt the FDA would give that one a go.

Last to move a plant from one location to another is a herculean effort. I know I was in charge of moving Manufacturing from one location thousands of miles to another location.

Virus is expected to reduce meat selection and raise prices
Grocery stores could see meat shortages by end of week amid plant closings

Coronavirus is putting meat plants across the midwest in the Crippler Crossface.
We could be seeing a 25% shortage of product across the country in a week or 2.
I dont come from a 6 figure 6 cert family. They are gonna be hitting me up to pitch in. I literally went to Chik Fil A this morning in Southern MD, and they were out of sausage.
I woke up to a text from a youngin askin why there was only turkey in her grocery store and asking if Trump did something.
Brace yourselves brehs.
This could get ugly quick.
:damn::damn::damn:
Breh, I was at Giant & Shoppers yesterday, and they didn't have much meat at all! Giant only had some pork & a little bit of turkey. All Shoppers had was some frozen chicken & things like liver, chitlins, and gizzards. Even hot dogs & breakfast meats were in short supply. It's real out here, cuz.

On a side note, HTTR!
