Train and I were talking on the air this morning about how this meat recall seems like a cake walk after what we've been through with COVID-19.  Although E-COLI can be dangerous, we've had months and months of dealing with a virus that shut down the entire world, quite literally.  Seems like no big deal to throw away some potentially dangerous meat.
