This points to another supply chain problem, the huge amount of food out there in storage at closed restaurants and institutions (schools and prisons).

This will cause huge losses to manufacturers and those businesses. Like dairy farmers, they may be forced to just flush it all down the drain.
Oh, the irony! 1918 Spanish Flu. Stalin’s Ukraine purge. WW2. The Holocaust. Pol Pot. Massive, massive misery. Now Covid19 and Fauci?
Article over on ScienceMag.org that talks about the lower O2 levels and blood clotting we have seen in covid19 cases and some medical data.

Indeed this is the case. Many states, including my own, have eased restrictions on home deliveries. Breweries have never been allowed to ship directly to consumers.
The Brewer’s Association was keeping a close watch on the economic health of the brewing industry with surveys, finding that almost half would be closed within 3 months. Just a quick history lesson: In 2005, there were 1,500 breweries. Today, there are close to 8,500.
This week, the Brewers Association laid off 23% of their staff, due to major events being canceled, like our trade conference.

We take care to produce filtered, brilliant beer. So a lighter style beer processed in this way could have a shelf life of 6 months (if unpasteurized). Those IPAs on the other hand are turbid time-bombs. The most popular beer in the U.S., the Hazy IPA, has an approximate shelf life of 30-45 days. If those beers haven’t been dumped already, I would be surprised.
However, the stale beer can be distilled, just like the article points out, so all may not be lost. We ourselves have had to pivot to hand sanitizer production, but supply chain issues are difficult to maneuver with such an existential flex.
TL;DR
Many breweries are going to close forever if they can’t find a way to make some kind of revenue. Brewers are some of the hardest working people in the country, and with our lobbyist group reduced by a 1/4, our industry may not be able to secure even meager assistance from the feds.
In the south we have an abundance of food right now. I have friends and neighbors who are having to destroy crops and chickens. This is going to be a problem which cascades as the growing seasons move north. We do have some producers and suppliers who are doing what they can to keep food moving. My suggestion is to buy as much as we can to keep some of our producers from shutting down. I realize that it is not practical to travel a long distance to pick up small amounts of food(frozen meat, produce, seafood) but I am providing some links for people in the south.

Hello Orson, great to have you posting here. I had discovered your lonely HCQ video (now ~250 views) regarding the UK as the world’s placebo (given their near-outlawing of HCQ) a few weeks ago and posted it here at the time. I have looked periodically for another follow-up video post from you, but I kind of understand why you have not… the stat’s from Worldometer certainly show the UK’s death rate as high… but then again so is that of France. When you try to make some corrections for testing, it just gets muddled and it’s hard to support any particular narrative. Great to have you here and please continue to be part of the conversation… I am so glad that the great work Chris and Adam are doing has attracted you.
Regarding viral load vs medication, I found data recently from a small study run in Indonesia that told the story of HCQ’s effectiveness very clearly - I posted it here;
https://peakprosperity.com/forum-topic/hydroxychloroquine-vs-the-globalist-deep-state/page/14/#post-561401
Here is the data summary - it’s some of the strongest evidence I have seen of the synergy between HCQ and Azithromycin as used in people early in the disease cycle. Small numbers of patients but HUGE differences in viral load clearing;
Producers are obligated to larger entities that are large corporations, not cafeterias, or other large consumers.
For example Tyson which has closed plants does not own farms. They own uh contract with farmers who produce the “product” Tyson purchases the "product from the farmers based on the contract. The farmer owns the land (probably mortgaged), owns the facilities (hog houses, chicken houses, buys the chicks etc from Tyson, buys the fuel for heating, pays all the utilities, etc. In other words the farmer bears ALL the costs of production. Tyson assumes none of the risk and reaps huge profits. Farmers are fortunate to make wages. Generally those farms are hybrid operations that raise beef. They take the chicken litter and spread it on their fields.
Don Tyson developed this model a long time ago and it is now standard across the industry. It is industrial farming on the backs of what are essentially indentured servants. This is a very brief description. Lots more can be found with a little research.
The article also mentioned cooperatives. There are various cooperatives which market various foods. Welch’s is on such but the dairy industry also has them.
One interesting side note for those who might be interested. Mike Espy was Sec of Ag. under Bill Clinton. He was accused of accepting perks from a particular Ag company he resigned, but was acquitted. The Ag company was Tyson Foods. Bill and Hillary’s best friends were Jim and Diane Blair. Jim was general counsel for Tyson’s. Whenever the Clinton’s went to Arkansas they would stay at the Tyson compound on Beaver Lake. Espy is now running for the senate
Had your Chicken today?
I have googled " side effects for Remdesivir" all that comes up are reports of how wonderful it is. Not even the Wiki page lists side effects.
Does anyone have the info on toxicity and side effects?
It would be nice to post those side by side with HCQ
This is getting really smelly
The original Chinese data from cells in a petri dish contained a subtle suggestion that Remdesivir was going to be more toxic than chloroquine/HCQ. Note the blue data point at the end of the Remdesivir series that climbs into positive (> 0%) cyotoxicity. Also note that this is chloroquine that is looking entirely safe across the dosage spectrum, and we know that it’s more harsh than HCQ;
You summed that up perfectly. Thank you very much.
And while we debate over COVID-19 our friends over at the NY FED are making sure that if stocks go down so does Gold by a like amount. Gotta keep all those plates spinning. Don’t look here.

Took this off of a Zerohedge page a few minutes ago. I have been watching this since April 17th. GILD the symbol for Gilead was having another great day this morning going back to its all time highs, but now it has sold off. Maybe it has served its purpose?

Hello,
I am the president of the board of directors of Lakes Area Food Shelf, which is in north central Minnesota. One of the ways we obtain food from 2nd Harvest North Central Food Bank is through a government program, TEFAP (Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program). The USDA purchases food and then distributes it to the various large food banks, who then distribute it to their member food banks, such as 2nd Harvest. What is great about this program, as there is zero cost to the food shelves for all of these items. I was on a conference call last Thursday with our local 2nd Harvest food bank, along with representatives from the various food shelves they serve. We were told there is lots of product in the TEFAP pipeline, but they didn’t know the delivery dates.
Another way food is being distributed is with a Pop Up Produce event. My food shelf hosted several of them last summer and fall. 2nd Harvest drops off pallets of veggies, fruit, rice, beans, potatoes, etc and people can take whatever they want. Here’s a recent story about how this being done during the pandemic:
https://www.brainerddispatch.com/news/6459953-Pop-up-produce-event-distributes-320-boxes-of-food
We haven’t seen an increase in the number of people coming for food, and the story is the same for most food shelves in our region. Two food shelves to the north experienced a two to three times increase after casinos in their area closed.
One story that’s very positive. I was at our food shelf today talking with the manager. What she is seeing is people donating money more than once or donating more than they have in the past. During my visit a couple drove up and handed her a check for $100. People are opening their wallets to help meet the needs of those in our area who experience food insecurity. Hopefully, all of you will do as well (hint, hint)
That chart was in one of Chris’s early videos. That is cytotoxicity. I am interested in side effects like liver damage, heart issues etc.
Must be orders of magnitude below Chris’ frustration but lewrockwell has been my goto for years and now the free up the markets (which everybody seems agreed) seems to devolve in the attitude that HBV necessarily is just like the flu. (no big deal, just a scam for government control) These factors are not mutually exclusive. I wish more people could wrap their heads around HBV bad, economy bad, Government bad.
Doug Casey had what seems to be a well reasoned case for what the government is likely to do. (In this case, past performance is an indicator of the future forecasts)

cheers?
In contrast to the dithering in DC that ignores farmers with unsaleable crops and livestock at the same time food banks are seeing exploding need, Governor Newsom announced a program to align farmers whose customers’ businesses are closed with food banks:

Yeah! That is great news! Thanks for sharing ds24. Hopefully other states can follow suit for the benefit of farmers and families.
Deaconmn, that is very encouraging to hear about your regional efforts to link farm/farmers to food banks. Your personal activism and leadership to make this happen are also inspiring. Hint well-taken. 
Thank you!
