Some people have suggested the spread at meat packing plants (which are disinfected daily in the normal course of business) may actually be occurring outside the plants, due to things like communal housing. This is a claim rife with social, economic and racial prejudice. Yet I think it has merit. Which probably means I’m prejudiced.
I would like to think the companies are implementing major changes in changing areas, bathrooms, lunchrooms, entrances and exits, etc, not just distancing on the production lines. But I would also like to hear that the companies or towns or states or somebody is setting up places for infected workers to isolate rather than just go home and infect their families and neighbors. Or maybe setup some kind of temporary housing to cut the spread outside the plants.

He was the union Chief Steward……. Another point that occurred to me is that everybody just seems to assume that he contracted COVID at work. What if he got it somewhere else and he was the one that brought it to that plant and spread it?

Having the government tell everyone they must wear a mask is one thing. A business requiring customers wear a mask to enter their store is another. The second actually correlates to your example and is certainly the right of any business to put certain requirements on using their facility (within lawful limits of course). If people don’t want to abide by their requirements, they are free to go somewhere else or stay home if no one will let them in their place of business. On the other hand, I assume that it will eventually come before the Supreme Court to decide if it is a violation of some “right” or other to be told that everyone is required to wear a mask in public.
