My concern is local disruptions in supply and food availability. Three days without food won't kill you, but it certainly will change your outlook on life.
There are a number of "pinch points" in the supply chain, vulnerable to employees getting sick, that (coupled with inventory problems from hoarding) could easily result in reduced local supply for a week or two.
- dillonmckay 7y agoThere are only a few companies the control the majority of the US food supply, and seem to rely heavily on hourly workers for logistics. I don’t know the sick-leave policies of Kroger, Walmart, Publix, or Aldi, but there does not seem to be a high-availability, fault tolerant system to handle an entire workforce being unavailable for weeks at a time.
