New comment by rgbrenner in "Tesla says it has health official's OK to run California plant"

IMO there's a lot to dislike about Elons handling of this.. but the conditions are different than a meat packing plant.

This is a meat packing plant: https://postmediacalgaryherald2.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/... Shoulder to shoulder all day long. Those are their stations for their entire shift.

Notice also: no masks. And because they've been deemed a critical industry, they aren't necessarily getting masks now either. So no distancing, and no masks. These are also very poorly paid jobs, and it would be unusual if they had health insurance or paid time off.

It's pretty much the perfect conditions for covid.

Cars tend to be a bit bigger than chickens.. so in a car factory, the workers are usually more than 6 ft apart.
