If the restaurants are kept closed or come back at reduced capacity a lot of livestock raisers will have to switch how they break the animals down. Most livestock is prepared for the restaurant industry. The cuts are much smaller that go to grocery stores than restaurants. Once again, the US has an over abundance of food and a lack of infrastructure to get it to the people. Many growers have slowed the amount of protein they give to pigs to slow their growth because they have no way to process for grocery stores. Fun times.

Supply in inventory way ahead of demand. Prices go down quickly to avoid spoilage and get through paid for inventories. Investments shift to reset capacity of supply. Money supply goes up with stimulus but with less output, what could go wrong?
Get people fucking back to work.
