Did you read the Executive Order? What's new? Everything was already in effect. It's an executive order "reminding" people of the obligation to quarantine. It's also political grandstanding as the CDC relaxed some oversight.

I believe Canada was added as a place needing to quarantine when coming from

"Throughout our entire time together, we had not had one meal where we sat down together," Kelly said. "Everything was grab and go. We get into our game situation where we have pregame meal together, and that cost us. Big. We had somebody who was asymptomatic, and it spread like wildfire throughout our meeting area where we were eating and then it got guys in contact tracing."

Succos meals may be outdoors, but please don't underestimate the spread that can occur during a YT meal with some guests.

Lucky for us (Kosher consumers) this will get lost in the noise.

Keep in mind, the genetic work analyzing Postville’s genetic data would be the same anywhere else there was similar spread, probably at thousands of factories/warehouses across America.

I know I heard reports of widespread infections in treif meat processing plants as well, but that's hearsay and maybe nobody analyzed the data or the journalist didn't pick it up.

Here is one example of an outbreak in meat processing plants: "The coronavirus has killed five workers from two Eastern Shore poultry plants and infected more than 200 other employees, Maryland health officials said Thursday." from a June 12th article.

One thing that did seem to jump out from the Washington Post article, and I am not a 'everything is anti-semitic' reacrtionary, was this line early in the article about Agri:

"Where was the contagion coming from? No one would say. Not Agri Star’s wealthy owner, who didn’t shut down production lines after cases were confirmed among workers." Why was "wealthy" necessary to describe the owner of a large production facility? That seemed like a code word for "Jewish" and made me suspicious of stereotyping.
