Empty shelves in grocery stores and shortages of certain foods such as certain meats will not end anytime soon, even when people begin to return to work and put their lives back together. The reasons are many: With the meat industry, for example, Smithfield Foods is closing a plant in South Dakota because 230 workers have the coronavirus.
Other meat producers are affected too — even those with a plentiful supply in cold storage, because there aren’t enough truck drivers to get the foods out to stores.
