as a supervisor for meat inspectors. She has 23 people she is in charge of. She has had to make sanitizer and provide masks for them. She has a friend who made face shields and ear shields for them with a 3D printer. This is out of her own pocket because the Federal government is providing nothing for them. This is what these people are facing. She is a mess and so concerned about her people. How can this be happening? Neither of us are religious but she asked me to pray for her.

They've abandoned all functions of government, except for those that help toward the re-election or benefit them personally.
Saying prayers for your friend at the USDA. Bless her for caring deeply about her co-workers.

(28,287 posts)A relative of mine was involved in meat packing oversight---it is a deadly serious matter, and leaving personnel on their own and desperate and underequipped is a promise that things will get lethally out of hand. Unforgivable. I hope this veterinarian is keeping detailed records of this situation.
