Reading the local newspaper this morning which is just a satellite for fake news Washington Post.
One of the articles is about an "outbreak" in Sioux Falls South Dakota. Article focuses on the Smithfield Pork plant that was shut down.
Headline tells the story
South Dakota’s governor resisted ordering people to stay home. Now it has one of the nation’s largest coronavirus hot spots.
Increasingly exasperated local leaders, public health experts and front-line medical workers have begged Kristi Noem to intervene.
South Dakota being a shutdown holdout and knowing that the fake news and dems want all states shut down so they can claim only defense vs China Flu is "muh social distance", knew this article was clearly a scam.
Turns out it's the next propaganda/silent war attack. Same story crops up on National Pravda Radio. Google news search for food supply since last friday yields tons of hits. The attack is on the food supply.
Start digging on mayor of Sioux Falls and Smithfield.

Mayor Column: Strengthening U.S. China Relations Starts at the Local Level
Throughout Sioux Falls’ history, our economy has looked outward to sell our goods—especially our agricultural commodities. Today, our region ships fire trucks, display boards, prepackaged food, and ag products all over the world. Sioux Falls is part of the global marketplace and there is a multitude of opportunities to expand our reach.
I recently returned from the inaugural mayoral delegation trip with the U.S. Heartland China Association. Along with three other mayors, we each had the opportunity to promote our hometowns and hold productive conversations with current and future partners. Through conversations at the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, government leaders in Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shenzhen, and numerous private business tours, I was able to discuss the unique advantages of Sioux Falls as well as why these leaders should keep Sioux Falls in discussions that often only focus on major population centers along the coasts.
