re: What happened with that beef shortage?

I work in Nebraska and haul from the beef plants frequently. They had massive outbreaks a couple of months ago, so they did the logical thing - shut down the plants, do a deep clean, let two weeks pass, test the employees and put the ones that test positive out on medical leave for a longer amount of time. Took a month to get the plants back online but they're mostly all back online now. It's not fear mongering - take off the tin foil hats, dummies.

But it is fear mongering. The same 3 pictures of stores out of meat circulated the internet and millions of people saw that, went out and overstocked on meat they didnt need. Most probably still havent eaten that meat yet.

The world wasnt going to run out of meat because a plant shut down for 2 weeks to clean.
