Kristi Noem you are an freaking idiot and you could have done two things:
1. Worked with the food suppliers to protect the workforce before this happened
2. Shelter in place would have worked regardless of your perfectly clear statement

Replying to @govkristinoem
Let's be perfectly clear: a shelter-in-place order would NOT have prevented Smithfield from happening. They are a critical infrastructure business. They are part of the nation's food supply chain and contribute to South Dakota's role feeding the country and the world. (2/4)

We've been in frequent communication with @VP Pence, @SecretarySonny, and the CEO of Smithfield. We're working together on a plan to get the plant open as soon as it’s safe. A CDC team arrives today to help us assess the situation on the ground. Additional details soon. (3/4)
