Close to 300 NEW Covid cases at Tyson in Sherman

They live all over North Texas

You test more, you get more positives... cool damp environments are a virus' safe haven, so not really a surprise... how many of those 300 had/have debilitating symptoms?

What can you do?

So? Should we panic about it or something? Wear a mask and don’t pick your nose. That’ll fix it.

How many of those 300 hospitalized?

PETA is behind this. No way meat plants just happened to have this many cases

They live closer to me than they do you Buzz. The head man got it too... That does not mean a damn thing IMHO. I have not changed anything as we have to make a living and we will. You cannot be scared your whole life Buzz.

Well articulated

The meat packing industry apparent correlation needs to be looked at closely.

All of them shop at Hwy 75 & 82, same major stores i shop at, no mask for me.

So they had it, get well and get back to work, its a version of the flu. Sad to say if your older and have health issues the outcome can be very different.
Testing is for that split second in time only and has no bearing on tomorrow.
I'm so fed up with this crap.

How many dead?

This is not the first meat packing plant to have this happen, what gives?

To me this is the most important fact that needs to be talked about.

I guess you need to stay home chicken little........

That's it. I'm getting my family and locking ourselves in the underground bunker.

Who cares

Good info in that article. This was interesting:
“ When one pork processing plant in Missouri began working with the state health department to test its workforce, more than 370 employees tested positive. All of them were asymptomatic.”

No matter how a person dies now, it's because of Covid.

This says 1.

What I care about is that they don't shut the plant down.

That’s impossible they wear gloves, masks and hair nets.

Mind blown. You sir win the internet today.

Have ICE raid them first.

They can’t all the packing houses have a very large price fixing spot light on them.

Huge discrepancies in Future market vs retail

They need to replace all the people with robots.

Probably be some chicken looting happening soon.

At work we have a sign that says "congratulations we have had 0 covid cases"........... I want to walk in and ask how many have been tested. We have worked straight through this chet, and I would bet all that I have, that if they did antibody testing a good chunk of us have been exposed to the virus at some point.

According to the current death rate 13 of these people should die (+/- I am sure) . Would be interesting to see how it plays out.

Really enjoying all these responses.

It doesnt matter if you die. Its when they slide that intubation tube down your throat and hook you up to a machine to keep you alive. Then you wish you were dead.

I'm glad and happy for those are back to work. If I was young had 2-3 kids, mortgage, expensive hobbies, I'd be chittin bricks too.

One thing that makes me sick is how political this has become. But typical of both sides

Glad we are in America, where you can start going back to work, I can choose to social distance, wear a mask to protect others. Mostly to protect me

Prices will be going up.

Yet not one feedlot steer or heifer goes unsold.....

Until a vaccine is available, anything that promotes herd immunity is a step in the right direction. Otherwise, the spreading never stops.

I worked the Gooch Packing Plant in Abilene for a few months while in college, robots are going to have become a lot more "talented" to this.

Deer season is just around the corner.

Plenty of meat roaming the land.

I been putting a lot of crappie in the freezer.

Something isn't right....

I just don't want to run out of chicken wings, I can only eat so much crappy!!

I'm petty sure the Sherman plant processes pork.

Ruiz Foods in Denison has had their share of cases too but they refuse to release the numbers of cases in their plant.

HUMMMMMMMMM

over 300 cases now

guess its the piggies fault

The current death rate for the US is 6 100ths of a percent. 46% of this number is nursing home deaths........factoring only deaths outside of nursing homes equals 1 person or less out of three hundred.

This brings our total confirmed case count in Grayson County to 316. To date, we have one hundred and ninety cases recovered, seven hospitalized, two deceased, and 117 remain in home isolation.

When you look at death rates, should you not look at closed cases? Otherwise you are comparing apples and oranges, deaths are closed (numerator), your denominator should be closed as well. Here is what those numbers look like, world meter, I know China website that can't be trusted but it is the same info as US websites.. World probable less because of less reported deaths because of covid. I'm not saying these numbers are right or wrong, just showing the data that is out there.

Finally. This is the data that I wanted to see. Just makes sense of it all.

No.

Ever notice that there are no deaths caused by the flu since the virus hit?
