    Gee, seems like modern journalists boldly refuse to let facts affect their reporting.

    PLAINWELL, Mich. — Sixty workers at a beef plant have tested positive for the coronavirus.
    The group of workers at JBS in Plainwell tested positive between March 24 and April 19, according to Lindsay Maunz, public information officer at the Allegan County Health Department


    On April 13, JBS announced it is temporarily closing its facility in Greeley, Colorado to "support the fight against coronavirus."
    Later, on April 20, JBS also said it is indefinitely closing its pork plant in Worthington, Minnesota.

    No word if they are what action JBS is taking at the Michigan plant.

    Looks like the needed medical care can resume tomorrow from the .gov updated orders. Open up all medical care resume next week if things progress well. Dental and vet too.

    Can you provide a link to the dental part? I'm only seeing this:

    "Can I see my dentist, optometrist, or dermatologist?[FONT=&quot]Nonessential medical care such as routine eye exams and teeth-cleaning should be postponed."

    My dentist has been open for emergency care.[/FONT]

    I had a filing fall out a couple weeks ago. So far, it’s not hurting. But I’m going to call in the morning and see if this change has changed things. My dentist pretty much said when I called back then they’d only want to see me for “emergencies” too. (That is, if it was hurting).

    We prob wont open for a few more weeks. (Dental Office) we cant hardly get masks or other PPE. People still dont want to come to there appointments and many are still nervous about everything. Whats the point being open with staff and seeing no patients. This will be common with many other offices.

    Amazing that the exact same people, wearing the exact same clothes, took the exact same walk in the exact same position in both Los Angeles and Jacksonville.

    Stranger things have happened. Like that time Syrian forces attacked Knob Creek, KY. There's video and everything.

    You guys are too funny. :):

    I'm going to say NOT California.
    I've never been to Florida but in CA, people don't wear that much clothing and/or shoes at the beach??? Really? This goes for the winter also.
    Unless a bus load of dorky tourists from Kansas or Indiana just happened to be in the picture.

    About that CO2 shortage. It most likely will impact Indiana's water supply and sewage treatment.

    I was not aware it was also used to reduce sewage sludge weight by 50%. (link https://www.elodeusa.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkc-Sxav46AIVzYCfCh0QMgIIEAMYASAAEgIKr_D_BwE )

    I hope the sewage treatment facilities don't collapse like my bank did.
