COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

I don't understand the slaughtering of livestock. I understand the meat packing plants are at reduced capacity, but to say the there is a surplus of meat is what I don't understand. I know restaurants are closed, but people are still eating. I have bought as much meat in the past month that I normally would buy in a year. My chest freezer, my house refrigerator freezer and my RV refrigerator freezer are all full. My neighbors are looking for meat and when they find meat they are buying more also. My smoker is now running about two times a week where normally I would only use it once a week.
