C19 struck one of our meat plants, killed owner

There is a popular meathouse/processing place in the Jackson area. I went three months ago to get some sausage (It's not the one in Rankin County) and noticed there were no precautions. No mask, a dozen people piled up on top of each other at the register, and so on. I went a few weeks after that but the only precaution was allowing a few people inside at a time but that was it.

Fast forward to two weekends ago. The plant announces on FB that well um, you see, um, four employees have the virus. Turned out they knew for one to two weeks and didn't tell the customers or shut down.

Then the owner's wife, 52 yo, died the next day. It turned out she had been hacking for over a week. Friends and family told her to go to the doctor but she would say she had pneumonia and would get over it. Husband finally told her they were going to ER that Saturday. She died as they got into the truck.

Another case of we don't need no precautions, we are out in the country, we are young, it can't happen to us.... until it does.

The store immediately shut down but did reopen yesterday, eight days later.
