New York (CNN Business)One of the country's largest pork processing facilities is closing until further notice as employees fall ill with Covid-19. The closure puts the country's meat supply at risk, said the CEO of Smithfield, which operates the plant.

    Well that sucks, though not surprising. Still, last night, I had pinto beans with a side of collards (my new favorite green vegetable, 20 minutes in the Instant Pot). Was gonna make cornbread, but got lazy. Anyway, wonderful meal! And no meat.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    This could impact the supply of pork. I actually prefer the Swift brand, but it's harder to find than Smithfield.

    Smithfield is owned by a Chinese company.  Could China be trying to hurt us economically by idling their plants and spread fear?

    I'm sure that is exactly what is happening.

    I think my local grocery store buys whole hogs out of Louisiana and cuts them up in house. They had a good price on ham Friday I might give that a shot. Just about enough turkey pot pie left for lunch tomorrow.
