The chairmen of Tyson Foods John H Tyson said:
“In addition to meat shortages, this is a serious food waste issue,” Tyson claimed. “Farmers across the nation simply will not have anywhere to sell their livestock to be processed, when they could have fed the nation. Millions of animals – chickens, pigs and cattle – will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities. The food supply chain is breaking.”
Basically what he is saying is that the closing of meat packing and processing plants has led to a surplus of product that is not being processed to be sent to the supermarkets throughout the nation. The food is there but it is being wasted. We already have seen millions of gallons of milk and millions of eggs being destroyed because they can not be brought to market.
This is because of government dictates that have closed plants or forced truckers to not transport product.
People will get hungry. Very hungry. What little reaches the shelves will be hoarded much like toilet paper. I know I stocked up with a lot of pasta in the thought that just such a thing will be happening.
President Trump needs to step in and somehow stop this calamity. The Justice Department has to step in and fight against the onerous shut down orders of tinpot dictators like the governors in Michigan, New York and Arizona. This can not stand or we will be facing a disaster of immense proportions.

Tyson owns the chicken supply lines so if it breaks it is because he wants it broken.
I buy from local farmers, at least when I am permitted to by Big Brother.
A thread on Twitchy suggests that Tyson's claims are overreach.
The President has already stepped in and used the Defense Production act to categorize meat packing plants as essential and force them to stay open.
Everybody is playing politics here. The tofu eating Democrats want the plants closed because they don't want the peons to eat meat just like they don't want them to get big sodas from the 7-11. The Unions want to hold up management for more money for "hazard pay." The big producers like Tyson don't want the money train to slow down. It is all the same political bullshit.
Proof positive that the corona virus panic is a big bag of bullshit.
This, along with the "second wave" of the Sino Sinus Syphilis that we're told will hit around Thanksgiving, is Panic 2.0. They expect people to buy it.
I expect only the Lefties who buy Fake News will.

Tyson, along with Sam Walton, had Willie in their hip pocket when he was governor.
Perdue is all Trump, so you have a choice.
PS See where Dr Fauci was the one who transferred the bat flu research from CDC (where (surprise!!!) they couldn't keep from screwing up) to the Red China lab that gave us this little bug?
Along with a $3.7 mil grant.
On the Mocha Messiah's watch.
This clown is a total screw-up.

I buy free range chickens from Trader Joe's which are sourced in CA.
