Food supply chains starting to crack under Covid-19. | |

Offer Upgrade  User ID: 77181465  United States04/10/2020 10:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Update 4/12 After considering the consequences of adding to fears I have decided not to proceed with keeping this thread updated on a daily basis. Those who wish to share information and discuss the subject are free to do so. The anxiety I created for myself alone is enoigh for me to step back. I recognize my limitations and will no longer participate in this thread. We need solutions to problems rather than adding to the problem themselves. Supply chains starting to crack. I work for a major food processing plant in the midwest. Someone I work with has family that works at the factory who supplies all of our plastic products. This particular factory supplies our company with 30,000 cups and lids of all sizes every few days. Apparently that plant is shutting down for 28 days. This will disrupt our ability to distribute our food products at the plant I work at. As of now we will be down the next 3 days for fog disinfecting the entire plant for a 2nd week in a row. With this disruption we are expecting an additional week to two weeks of no production which will significantly impact walmarts and grocery stores across the region. This is the real deal folks. Food manufacturing in the midwest are now seeing disruptions. You know what will follow. Will keep this thread updated.

OP, thanks for the info. I’ll add this one to your thread. JBS, in Colorado is closing until all employees can be tested after 50 confirmed and 2 dead. The belownis from a news source that cannot be linked, phonetically: sea-in-in. This isn’t the only facility I’ve read about having troubles. Add to this Amazon telling workers to let shipments sit 24 hours to try and help reduce exposure. There is a real problem brewing. Even if it is intermediate disruptions the ripple effect will only add to the strain of the supply chain. A meat packing plant in Colorado where dozens of employees have contracted the novel coronavirus is closed for a deep cleaning and all workers will be tested before they can return to their jobs, officials said Friday. The union that represents 3,000 employees at the JBS plant in Greeley said in a letter to state, county and company officials that two of its members have died. |

The psychological effect on those poor folks alone is enough to drive anyone to night terrors. We have had 2 confirmed cases on first shift. At this point im just putting my head down and pushing through. No room for fear. Its all logic and caution at this point.

A holiday weekend is usually when food stuff plants here in the midwest fumigate for pest control in spring and fall every year. Quoting: MrBlack 2 weeks in a row they are fog treating for Covid-19. With those two confirmed cases this week at thia facility, one of 5 in this city, its no surprise. HR made it clear they are extremely proud to take these precautions for its employees and the general public. Who you calling new :D ive been a faithful AC for 9 years. Was just time pay the boss what is due  and get past in pesky mass bans during such a critical time. Nothing gets passed GLP unless its deleted by mods.

All staples today were about out. This was a few hours after the truck in the AM by the way. All chips and soda were fully stocked. Produce was fully stocked. Any item that could last more than a week was depleted and about out. Also marked up about 50-100% more than normal. |

User ID: 69657566 United States04/11/2020 05:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People keep saying that their stores are fully stocked. It must be a regional thing. I made my weekly round of grocery shopping yesterday in the Baton Rouge area. Bread, pasta, rice, canned goods, eggs, TP, some health/beauty, storage/freezer bags, water, sandwich meat, flour all there but in short supply. Meat seemed to be pretty well stocked, and produce was well stocked. I noticed that the coffee aisle looked more sparse than usual so that might be something that will be harder to find soon. Yes, I found everything that I wanted, but there are obviously still disruptions. I used to plan my menus out for the week and make my shopping list. Now I shop to see what's available and plan my menus for the week after my shopping trip. |

I do enjoy a good spat even when its with an ac with a touch of downs. I actually crossed paths with one of the first 3 confirmed cases in my county 4 weeks ago and watched the state withold that info fron the public to allow business to protect their liability and control public fears. Watched as we all did as the feds downplayed this thing up until two weeks ago when the numbers were to great to divert attention. And no, your dead wrong if you're calling for save yourself and those in your inner circle. Thats a cowards move... Ive switched careers and will be keeping America fed as long as possible during the greatest crisis America has faced since WWII. If those within my reach are affected I will be there to help and support where I can.
