CHICAGO (Reuters) - COVID-19 cases at a JBS meatpacking plant in Colorado have more than doubled “in a number of days” and a sixth employee died of the virus, a union official said on Thursday, underscoring the risks of U.S. meat plants reopening. The beef plant in Greeley, Colorado, started operating last Friday after it was closed for about two weeks following an outbreak among workers. “The uptick in cases in a matter of days shows how serious this crisis is and the dangers that workers are facing every day just trying to do their jobs,” Kim Cordova, leader of the local United Food and Commercial Workers International Union chapter, said in a news release. Confirmed cases among workers at the plant rose from 120 on Sunday to 245 on Wednesday evening, a union spokeswoman told Reuters, citing numbers from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. JBS USA said in a statement that it was saddened by the death of its employee and that the person had not been to work since March 25. The company reopened the plant after multiple site visits and approval from health officials including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the statement. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-meat/confirmed-coronavirus-cases-surge-in-reopened-jbs-colorado-beef-plant-worker-dies-union-idUSKBN22C3VR?utm_source=reddit.com

回复 43楼swanlolo的帖子 大家看看劳工部的规定怎么样，如果都做到了是不是可以减少传染了。如果不行，大家要去跟劳工部 提意见。 https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/national/04262020 The interim guidance from OSHA and the CDC includes information regarding: Cleaning of shared meatpacking and processing tools; Screening employees for the coronavirus before they enter work facilities; Managing workers who are showing symptoms of the coronavirus; Implementing appropriate engineering, administrative, and work practice controls; Using appropriate personal protective equipment; and Practicing social distancing at the workplace.

刚刚因为爆发关了两周
换句话说
有带病的人出来上班了
然后传染了同僚
这个CDC和其它卫生部门的能力
让人们有目共睹
赤裸裸的亮瞎双眼啊～～
口罩好几刀一个呢，员工才十几块钱一个小时吧，舍不得舍不得
美国人没肉吃会造反的，到时候代价就不是口罩了
之前说cruise上的人有百分之十八是无症状的感染
Dr. Birx的讲法是25-50%
那我再好奇，重症和死亡比例多少？
cruise上数字不能做benchmark用，因为cruise上病毒量太高了，高于平常人能接触的量
如果你考虑最近一系列的抗体测试结果
南湾也好，LA也好，JoKo也好，甚至远远的荷兰，都是>3%的抗体
严重的NYC是20%的抗体
所以绝大多数的患者都是轻症无症状
食品行业的行业的工作服本身就和防护服就很象，这是食品行业的性质决定的。是这些工人的生活习惯所致吧
肉价涨个5%，PPE的钱不就出来了，特殊时候消费者也不会Care价格高点。
不给保护，拿员工当狗吗？
昨天匿名釆访一个工作人员，据他说，虽然有口罩，但是工作人员隔的近，流水作业，出汗什么的，作用不大
不知敬畏最牛的病毒，病毒就给上课。。。
但是有报道说给来上班的加几百刀钱呢。就算几刀一个口罩也可以买好多了。
是的，我戴口罩去超市，最多能坚持2个超市，大概一个半小时，超过2个小时真的觉得喘不上气
你戴N95？
你再去看看印第安纳的泰森工厂，case county, 工厂2200，已经超过1000人感染。 一半以上的都病了。 整个county是1200例，大部分都是工厂的。还只是这几天才测出的。
看来你最喜欢专制
😱😱 什么时候生病的? 这个聚集爆发太可怕了
温度低, 病毒能生存FOREVER
这种可不可以告这些资本家啊。。。唉。。。估计也可以说不是强迫的。。。
今天咱州长宣布 back on track 了呢，office setting 只要求 social distancing。我们老板说他会要求强制带口罩，不知道会不会有不服的。
RE 我也这样
re，这些蓝领工人根本毫无选择，硬着头皮也要去干活。这些人得病倒下了，总还有新的劳动力补上来的，所以资本也不在乎牺牲这些人。
资本家被告倒闭了所有员工都失去工作，消费者也买不到肉了
我也是， 如果戴着口罩开车， 5 分钟就晕了。 BTW， 我从小就晕车， 只有自己开才不晕
那可以做好防护啊
