Not mentioned in this story: Smithfield is a Chinese company. https://twitter.com/katiejmbaker/status/1252338679063834631
Cargill, incidentally, has said it knows how to work with COVID bc it has factories in China.

So why can't Smithfield?

[Note, I'm not sure I buy Cargill's claim anyway.]
Unsurprisingly, I was right not to buy Cargill's claim.

I think there are two outbreaks in the US as well. https://twitter.com/Shayzac/status/1252386578585927680
