Ironic thing about meat packing shutting down: Even with meat contaminated by Covid-infected workers, you could buy it in a supermarket wearing gloves, take it home, put it in a pot or the oven, cook it, and wash your hands after touching it raw. These are all exactly the same precautions we have always had to use with raw chicken! Public health authorities, the USDA, professional cooks, and people in the know all assume raw chicken is contaminated with salmonella and several other pathogens. Not as serious as SARS-COV2 certainly, but people do die from salmonella.

What you don't want to do, is to mix your meat with other grocery items and contaminate them. Or touch anything after you pick up a meat package. Or freeze your uncooked meat and contaminate your freezer.

What I like to do is buy a couple of 5-packs of large split chicken breasts, roast them well, and then put most of those in the freezer. I generally have enough in the freezer so I can buy them when they go on sale for 99 cents a pound!
