Shortage of workers = shortage of food.
Will coronavirus affect food supply? First problem: A possible shortage of workers

“California’s nearly $50-billion agricultural industry is bracing for a potential labor shortfall that could hinder efforts to maintain the nation’s fresh produce supply amid the widening coronavirus outbreak.

The immediate concern centers on a backlog in the recruitment of foreign guest workers because of the virus-related shutdown of consul offices processing agricultural H2-A visas in Mexico.

The expected bottleneck in recruitment of temporary agricultural workers arises weeks before harvest time for crops such as strawberries and lettuce that heavily depend on the foreign crews along the state’s central coast and in Salinas Valley, according to growers and labor contractors.”

WASHINGTON....we heard this out of Italy.

SEATTLE — Medical leaders in Washington State, which has the highest number of coronavirus deaths in the country, have quietly begun preparing a bleak triage strategy to determine which patients may have to be denied complete medical care in the event that the health system becomes overwhelmed by the coronavirus in the coming weeks.

Fearing a critical shortage of supplies, including the ventilators needed to help the most seriously ill patients breathe, state officials and hospital leaders held a conference call on Wednesday night to discuss the plans, according to several people involved in the talks. The triage document, still under consideration, will assess factors such as age, health and likelihood of survival in determining who will get access to full care and who will merely be provided comfort care, with the expectation that they will die.

And once again: Disaster for the farmers who can't sell their wonderful fresh and healthy produce if there is no one to pick it and get it to market.

Perhaps there should also be consideration for whether people have partied and spread the virus when told to self-isolate.

Ugly mess - “It’s like going to war with a butter knife.” ~one physician in NYC offered for how he and his colleagues are trying to suppress #COVID19, with dwindling stocks of health-care supplies & personal protective equipment.” (Great piece @WajahatAli) Where Are the Masks?

Yeah I’m somewhat surprised how quickly the PPE issues are occurring. We knew there was a huge concern about this very early on via WHO conferences, etc., but honestly this seems to be happening more quickly than I expected, considering our window of time, Strategic Reserve, increased production....

WTH we are only just getting started.
