Relative I know works in food distribution warehouse that supplies many smaller restaurants. She told me truck deliveries are down about 2/3. They have food rotting away that they are having to throw away. Employees at the warehouse are able to take the food for free, but they can't even give away the food to food banks because people are so afraid of the virus there aren't any volunteers at banks.
I've been trying to eat carryout more often from the restaurants that are open, but they are always dead and the people afraid of the virus are scared of eating food other people have touched.
America is pussified and its sad to see. Otherwise people wouldn't tolerate this nonsense.

I am a muslim immigrant and own many head of sheep which I have been selling one at a time to many of my neighbors which they slaughter to feed their family.
I still have a few left and will also sell all of these except one, which is my girlfriend.

Price of milk has gone up where I'm at.
I saw something earlier, about a plan by the govt to purchase the products directly from the farmers and send it all to food banks. It was on yahoo, and of course they aren't showing that article right now... Anyway, if that is true, I hope it truly helps these farmers.

Here is their plan: Check out Food Chain Reaction a DS org. A Global Food Security Game is a simulation and role-playing exercise intended to improve understanding of how governments, institutions, and private sector interests might interact to address a crisis in the global food system. The scenario is set five years from today in a world where population growth, rapid urbanization, extreme weather, and political crises combine to threaten global food security.
The game’s players—high-level decision makers representing nations, international institutions, and the private sector—will collaborate, negotiate, make decisions, and confront tradeoffs while dealing with a chain reaction of consequences resulting from their actions.
