Damn you CV-19, how dare you cut Chinese profits and make us healthier?!
I think you missed the point ...
It's a shame for the workers, if that's the point that you mean. Otherwise, we can do without sending profits to China, artery-clogging bacon, and hog farm pollution. Those are my points.

I like bacon, but don't buy it. Depending on price I buy other Smithfield products, though. However, I don't think that doing so is good for the nation or myself. We'll be fine if not better off with fewer of its meats.
What some seem to be ignoring is the distinct possibility that if pork processing plants are shutting down, the same could be happening to beef, fish, and chicken processing plants.
If so, I expect the prices of such protein-rich products to rise in proportion to their scarcity.
We'll see. It's mostly menial work, we hopefully are or will soon peak state-by-state, and there are millions of unemployed right now. Could also be that disruptions are temporary.

And yet another brick in the wall distancing the classes.
Until some next big New Deal type step.

I just saw a news report about farmers plowing their fields under because all of the closed restaurants mean less demand. I can think of a couple of factors, but I don't fully understand why we're consuming less food overall. Anyhow, there it is.

I'd imagine a huge chunk of food gets wasted at restaurants (buffets especially), whereas if you cook food at home you're probably more likely to keep leftovers, or only cook what you need.

You might want to consider keeping on feeding that raccoon as well as the cats and squirrels.

Yeah, my thought also.
It may also be that when people eat out, they tend to eat more than at home. Cause you know, those Big Macs are so tasty (according to Cheetolini).
Mmmmm Big Macs.
I also thought of those. Plus:
Even non-buffet restaurants have to prep meals that might not get eaten in order to reduce wait times.
Some folks are munching through their accumulated goods.
The now unemployed are eating less .
Maybe these alone account for the drop in demand, or maybe there are other factors.

1) Raccoon: I'd rather it not come around
2) Cats: I don't mind feeding them
3) Squirrels: Haven't seen them eating the cat kibble. But they do seem to enjoy feasting on my avocado trees. I'd like to see that stop.
Any suggestions?
He's suggesting that you can eat all three, which will take care of your meat shortage, your raccoon annoyance, and will save your avocados. Please share any recipes that you like.
1) Fish and Game would have a problem if I were to kill, cook, and eat a raccoon.
2) The Human Society and the cat lady down the block would skin me alive if I killed and ate a cat.
3) This morning I watched one of the feral cats chase a squirrel down the street down the sidewalk, up a tree, and then lose it as the squirrel jumped down from the tree and scampered off. However about 15 years ago I had a cat that was quite good at catching and dispatching squirrels. It was like Wild Kingdom, watching a lion take down a gazelle and haul it off with the prey dangling between the cat's front legs.
Those problems are with O Really's humorous suggestion, not with my "interpretation" of it.

O really was suggesting, in jest, that protein can be easily obtained in the Bay Area, at least in Ulysses' hood in the form of raccoons, cats, and squirrels. I've been drinking cases of beer today to demonstrate, to myself, the accuracy of my "total cases to date" and "new cases today" graph. It's coming along swimmingly and I often sit back and admire the simplicity of it and how I can easily see either datum. Myself.....I have an offbeat sense of humor; I think it would be funny if an airplane crashed in a cannibal country and the survivors were eaten...protein.
There will be a designated COVID-19 Day. The dead will be remembered and healthcare workers will be honored the way that soldiers are on several days and firefighters are on 9/11.
No predictions on the outcome, but there will be a reexamination of Medicare for All. With all of the people out of work and the exorbitant costs of COBRA, the weakness of the employer based private insurance system has been exposed more than ever. With tourist-dependent NV being hurt worse than other states I wonder what that union that attacked Bernie! is thinking now.

I like both, but given the choice I'd rather have chicken wings.
Pays yer money and takes yer choice, but a wing-eater definitely lives in a glass house for throwing nutrition rocks.
"Deep frying chicken wings and dousing them in a sauce that’s half-butter, half- hot sauce (yes, that’s the standard wing sauce formula) is a recipe for diet disaster. At Buffalo Wild Wings, for example, an order of 10 wings contains about 750 calories, 45 grams of fat, and 14 grams of saturated fat.'

Posting accurately about good nutrition doesn't mean that I'm a practitioner of it. That said, I rarely eat bacon and can't remember the last wing I had.
We should have a better understanding of how important it is to provide basic healthcare to everyone within our borders regardless of immigration status, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. American xenophobia and bigotry is a powerful thing to overcome.

The cat fan would say it's something you can't see and then make some trumpy like juvenile reference to Little Lulu, his latest obsession. This fool has been a victim virtually all his life, and loves it.
