In an effort to prevent Coronavirus, I decided to buy two gallons of milk at Stewart’s. 🐮

This way I won’t have to go to the store for a week. Or more likely I’ll end up drinking all the milk in three or four days and it will be a moot point. I can’t imagine it would spoil because I like drinking milk. It’s God’s beverage. Milk is good for you.

Foodservice Decline Leads to Flock Culling | Poultry Industry News | lancasterfarming.com

Some Northeastern poultry flocks are being depopulated in response to drastically reduced demand from the foodservice industry.

Michael Foods, a foodservice and ingredient supplier that is one of the nation’s largest buyers of eggs, appears to have suddenly cut purchases for its large processing plant in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

With restaurants, cruise ships, bakeries and other buyers of bulk eggs closed for the COVID-19 pandemic, demand had apparently dried up.

Even In Crisis Times, There Is A Push To Wire Rural America : NPR

As the COVID-19 crisis took hold and schools in Lockhart, Texas, had to close and shift to remote learning, the school district quickly conducted a needs assessment.

They found that half of their 6,000 students have no high-speed Internet at home. And despite being a short drive south of Austin, a third of all the students and staff live in "dead zones," where Internet and cell service aren't even available.

None of this was surprising to Mark Estrada, superintendent at the Lockhart Independent School District.

"Students who have been historically underserved just continue to have that fate as technology becomes a bigger part of educational practices," Estrada says.
