I see plenty of employees who are quite casual about all of this. I’m in a hard hit area and I still see people working on top of each other with no protection. 

Went into a pizza place and a parts store today.  Both had signs on the door to wear a mask, so I did.  Until I got inside, and saw that the employees weren't wearing them, so I took mine off too.

So are the majority of lost jobs.  Doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it.

How does a food supply chain "temporarily stop adding pigs"?  Or vegetables, or chickens, etc.  I can see where a person who has never farmed in their life might not see the big picture, but you can't just STOP pigs from growing up and eating your profits. 

Do we need to talk about where babies come from?
