This is a silly post. First off you're talkign about 2 of the biggest names in the game. General Mills doesn't just sell cereal, they also sell Gold Medal flour, Old El Paso, Bisquick, Yoplait Yogurt, etc.

Conagra sells frozen food, but also sells Hunt's ketchup and tomato products, and countless others.

I like how to make the case for packaged food he brings up Frank's Red Hot for McCormick, but doesn't mention French's products.

I mean as someone who works in the tourism and restaurant industry, this virus blows. But you act like people are eating worse now. We're just seeing a migration from people eating frozen/prepared food out, to eating it in.

Um, do you understand what growth means?

Gov Whitmer makes a good point, and one likely to resonate with parents of school age children.

The order requires face masks to be worn in several different settings, including if you’re outdoors and can’t stay 6 feet away from people who aren’t family members, if you’re inside a public place or if you’re at work.

The comparison between Texas and Italy (or any comparison for that matter) has to take into account the prevalence of testing. Italy had far more cases that went undetected due to less testing. This alone means the death/cases ratio will be significantly lower in Texas. Additionally, treatment has been improving, which will work in Texas' favor. As will the fact that the people being infected in Texas (and Florida and Arizona) are likely younger on average than those in Italy (although this could change if the virus spreads from younger to older and more vulnerable groups).

I agree mask laws pertaining to wearing them outside is over the top if there are not large crowds.

yes...the requirement should be that they be worn where social distancing is not possible...these requirements need to be tailored in as reasonable a way as possible...otherwise compliance will suffer

He used deaths per million population, not deaths per cases

Which is what the PA ORDER says.

Literally right under section 2 face coverings required is says if you're outdoors AND unable to maintain 6 feet of distance who are not members of their household.

The problem is that the right wing twittersphere I'm pretty sure is illiterate.
