I'm not saying we shouldn't take all precautions we can. I'm saying it's necessary work and some exposure needs to happen.

  No, some exposure does not need to happen. You could bring in the harvest just fine without exposure. We're choosing not to, because it'd cost precious money, and that's the god we'd like to worship. With the exact same kind of logic you use, one could also argue that it's not necessary work. Some starving just needs to happen. No? Not good logic? Then explain to me why your life matters more than farm worker lives?

    Zero exposure for someone working on a farm is utterly unrealistic.

      Zero exposure is probably unrealistic for everyone, but it's not unrealistic to give farm workers disposable masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, and washing stations, put effort into keeping them six feet apart as they work, and provide sufficient paid leave so they don't feel pressure to keep working even if they believe they're sick. I think that's really what we're talking about here.

        "As they work" is not the problem. Many of them are migrant worker who will reside in temporary housing akin to a bunk-house/dorm. They will be very exposed to the many people they are living with.
