    Lifting stay-at-home orders would lead to more infections . This info is from DHS/ FEMA and was released amid reports of hotspots emerging in 3 different counties Florida, California, and Alabama – The Alabama county listed is Marshall county, which reported 217 new cases in the last 7 days than the previous 7 days.

    Marshall County is home to several poultry plants and the meat packing industry accounts for 8% of the county’s employment. This report released on Yahoo News.

    Bottom line – people need to work, but this contagion is nowhere near over.
