The 1990 South Dakota Snow Queen State........and pork..........

Some meat plant workers 'worried' about safety as factories are forced to reopen

By Associated Press -May 4, 2020 6:10 PM

'They designate them as essential workers and then treat them as disposable,' Joe Biden said.

A South Dakota pork processing plant took its first steps toward reopening Monday after being shuttered for over two weeks because of a coronavirus outbreak that infected more than 800 employees.

Employees reporting for work in Smithfield Foods' ground pork department filed through a tent where they were screened for fever and other signs of COVID-19. Some said they felt the measures Smithfield has taken would protect them from another virus outbreak, while others were not confident that infections could be halted in a crowded plant.

Lydia Toby said she was "kind of worried" as she entered the plant before 6 a.m. for her first shift in over two weeks. Managers met employees in her department Friday and explained they had installed dividers on the production line and would require everyone to wear masks.

"I think it's going to be OK," Toby said.

And the Snow Queen has this libertarian philosophy along with her Snow Queen Health Commissioner........

"Gov. Kristi Noem said employees aren't required to undergo tests before returning to work, though it's strongly encouraged. Noem's health commissioner, Kim Malsam-Rysdon, said it was Smithfield's decision to make the tests optional.'

Yepper its all "optional"...............a human being in the Snow Queen State (SD) should now be called "optional", because they the Snow Queen and her Snow Queen Health Commissioner don't want to take any libertarian responsibility.................none.......because your "optional"..............
