Iowa Tyson meat plant worker took Tylenol to get temp down because she feared she’d lose her bonus with COVID-19

Tyson Fresh Meats in Waterloo, Iowa, has been the ground-zero of yet another horrifying coronavirus outbreak as employees were spiking temperatures and at least one employee was vomiting while working on the production line.
In a New York Times expose, the plant is described as a place where staff, mostly immigrants, are elbow to elbow breaking down a hog carcass on a conveyor belt. Despite the outbreak of COVID-19 among meat processing plants around the country, few of the staff had face coverings, though most were bandanas.
“At least one employee vomited while working on the production line, and several left the facility with soaring temperatures, according to a worker who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing his job and local advocates who have spoken with workers at the plant,” the Times said.

Neither Tyson nor the union could get information about workers who tested positive because it violates HIPAA laws preventing third parties from obtaining someone else’s medical information.
“One worker who died had taken Tylenol before entering the plant to lower her temperature enough to pass the screening, afraid that missing work would mean forgoing a bonus, said a person who knows the worker’s family and who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their privacy,” said the Times.
Older workers and those with asthma and diabetes have been seriously concerned about entering the plant.
“It was really a time of fear and panic,” said state Rep. Timi Brown-Powers, who works at a coronavirus clinic. “They had not slowed the line down. They were not practicing any sort of social distancing.”
Nearly two dozen Tyson staff members were taken to the emergency room on April 12. The company has tried to communicate the specifics of the disease, but misinformation, a lack of trust, has created problems at the plant. They were confused about why so many people started getting sick and missing work. Supervisors claimed “it was the flu,” and others were warned not to talk about the virus at the plant.
Tyson said it had “worked with the information available to us at the time to help keep our team members safe,” an email said. They claimed that had the Black Hawk County Health Department made decisions earlier, it would have impacted their decisions.
Local officials, including the sheriff, begged Tyson to close the facility when it became clear there was an outbreak, around April 14. Tyson refused.
Three days later, the company sent out a text message to all employees saying: “Waterloo Tyson is running. Thank you, team members! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!”
Just five days later, the plant finally decided to close, not because of the virus, however. The company claimed “worker absenteeism” was a key factor, along with more workers who ended up testing positive.
“As of Thursday, the county health department had recorded 1,031 coronavirus infections among Tyson employees — more than a third of the work force. Some are on ventilators. Three have died, according to Tyson,” the Times reported.

Damn, glad you pulled through.
This is why I don't play with these creatures out here. Get the fuck from around me. Straight mean looks and stares all day when I leave this bitch. I watch for people coming in all directions and just stare them the fuck down.
Just reading your story of how you got this shit pisses me off.These creatures ain't shit man. Sounds like you got a hefty viral load because of that thing that coughed on you. That's just bad luck.
Have to bright side this though man. At least you weren't sitting in the county jail when those symptoms came up. Because that creature that coughed on you sure deserved an ass kicking.
Stay up man.
I was telling @lightbright ,a few weeks ago I was already impatient when it comes to people before the pandemic. Now,my patience is extremely thin because of people not covering their mouths and want to be all in your personal space...
I don't understand,why people acting like everything is all good when this haven't subsided one bit.And,then want to tell you to stop being scared....

I wouldn't say that. I don't recall ever seeing a roach or rat on a cruise.
Most Bluetooth devices only allow one item to connect at a time.
Metaphor. People who are still willing to go on cruises are like roaches checking into the roach motels. They won't checkout. Motel of death. Cruise of death.

Just spitballing love.....maybe call in to a number and then hook-up to a speaker, Use Google Duo for the audio.....have to find a way.
It's funny. 2 months ago I was ranting like a madman about DeWine needing to close daycares. They were the last to close, but should have been among the first. Now DeWine is acting like he has some sense and won't commit to reopening them yet.
We'll see how this goes. I still think he's waiting for PUA to be up and running so parents that can't find childcare can use it and get paid. It's no coincidence PUA was supposed to be up Friday, they fucked it up, and not he makes another delay on childcare.
Been watching this guy like a hawk.

Gov. Mike DeWine delays announcement on re-opening daycare centers in Ohio

Yeah, I have multiple speakers and I was looking for a way to be able to connect multiple speakers etc a few years ago. There was one brand that I came across that if you had multiple speakers they could link to each other or had an aux port, but it wasn't worth the effort then. You post reminded me to check again to see if things have changed.
I don't think its a bad idea.. Most likely they would need to do like the churches are doing and use an FM transmitter and have them tune to a radio station. There are videos on youtube showing how to set them up.
Yes,I'm sure there are some School, Church or businesses that have unused parking lots that can accommodate with power.
A good Projector between $700-$2000 (Knowing that you'll make that back)
I agree with the sound part being a tough part, but there are Bluetooth speakers that you can strategically place for sound to bounce off of.....
