CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) - A spate of suspected coronavirus deaths among workers for U.S. companies operating along the border in Mexico has triggered multiple protests in recent days, highlighting friction over which factories should remain open in the pandemic.

At least four workers at American companies’ factories in Mexican border towns died this week, companies and workers said on Thursday, adding to several factory worker fatalities apparently linked to cases of the new coronavirus since the start of April.

Workers at Honeywell International Inc, Lear Corporation, Regal Beloit and Poly have all died in recent weeks, according to the companies.

I wonder if these factories have not shut down?? If not and doing it for economic reasons, you have to think about the moral questions involved here. Are they putting economics before the well-being of their workers? How did the virus get their?

For the record, I believe one article was saying there are a number of international companies in the area, so I don’t know if it is exclusively occurring in American factories.

Okay, in fact, there were some layoffs at the factories, more here:

Wind

I’m betting it is finally determined that wind spreads it the world over. Just like the radiation from Fukushima is all over the planet.

Just like a pestilence.
