I’m deeply worried about the US food supply in 4-6 weeks time, not because of availability but because of a lack of healthy people to process, transport and distribute the food. Given the sorry state of migrant farm workers in the US [0], it won’t take much for infections to spread.

As ever, it's the vegetable supply that is in question. Calories come from grains and potatoes and such that are heavily mechanized.
