I can't say that I don't blame them, they are a vital piece in our food supply but we should not be asking them to lose their lives to feed us. Not all of the farmers that use them treat them will or provide decent boarding facilities, hence what resulted in all the infections. Maybe we need to be busing in CERB recipients for the day to work the fields in the meantime, and have the farmers pay them in addition to their CERB. I know if I was collecting it I would be thankful to make extra money. When I was little my Mom did cherry picking in the summer, and we went with her and picked too so be before anyone chimes in I am well aware of crop being hard work, but if you don't have a job you do what you have to do.
