USDA Boss Says Meatpacking Plants Will Reopen In "Days Not Weeks"
• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler DurdenDespite Tyson Foods on Sunday, in a full-page ad in the New York Times, warned that the nation's "food supply chain is breaking."
Perhaps President Trump feels confident because he signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to force meatpacking plants to stay open. The president said he expects the food supply chain to be stronger than ever.
Bloomberg quoted USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue as saying shuttered meatpacking plants will be operational in "days not weeks" thanks to the president's executive order.
Perdue said workers at meatpacking facilities would receive a new attire that includes the protective gear that will better shield them from COVID-19.
