Starting to think there’s an outside chance this could snowball to much worse than Spanish flu due to immune attack capability... we’ve been operating under baseless assumption that this can’t be worse than 1918, but that ignores fact that there’s more that can go wrong in 2020

The pork plant in Sioux Falls shutting down the other day made me think food supply lines might be more vulnerable than we assume. That one facility processed ~4-5% of all US pork.
