Let me drop a couple of dead pigs at your place with a YouTube tutorial on how to butcher them and see how well you do.

Having been in Tyson's plant over in Indiana, people are pretty much on top of each other. That's the nature of the job.

Cold and low humidity. Lots of smooth stainless steel surfaces. The type of environment COVID likes to hang around in/on for days if not weeks.
Covid lives 2-3 days on stainless steel which is also easier to clean. The controlled humidity is an issue.

In this hypothetical situation if I didn’t have a gubment check coming and it was the only way to feed my family. I would slaughter that pig better and faster than anything you’ve seen.
The government created this problem and preventing the problem from correcting itself.

The workers are migrants who live in the same rooms and homes.
And at some plants, they've been forced to still come into work, even if they were sick or showing symptoms. Several of the plants don't offer sick pay to these employees.

Having participated in more than one boucherie I think it would be a challenge but far from daunting.

Did you really just tell a guy from louisiana he couldn't butcher an animal?
It would be a party in less than an hour.

There's a reason meat packing facilities have primarily hired poor immigrants for decades. The working conditions are notoriously horrid and the poor immigrants are much easier to take advantage of.

It’s unions baw. They don’t want to work right now.

I don't believe this aspect of it, but you have to think about how these facilities have to operate.
Most meatpacking is done in rooms that are cold, dark, and refrigerated for food safety concerns. So there is very little outside air circulating in the room. If you have someone that is sick or asymptomatic they can go into the room, they are able to start spreading the virus in the air. If you believe some studies, the cold and dark conditions give the virus a longer time to survive outside of its host.
Now to combat this, meatpacking plants should use better virus or medical-grade air filtration systems.
Test workers with rapid tests to limit exposure to those rooms.

Butchering aint an issue, making it look purty in them little packs is a whole other ball game.

Every Spanish station is basically broadcasting 24/7 to just stay at home, and that the government will take care of them.
A lot of people do not know this, but almost all countries in central and South America are cradle to grave government assistance. It’s what they expect here too.

A few UV units in the plenums upstream of the air handlers would help IMMENSELY if they already don't have them. Hospitals typically have dedicated air handlers for their operating suites that are like the Ferraris of air handlers and a UV segment is one of the things that you often see them employ to help ensure the air is as pathogen free as possible. If it's good enough for an operating room, it's good enough for meat packing. Relatively cheap, too, when you consider how much money that plant is losing every day just by being shut down. What's a half million for a new air handler?
