The China Connection ... Again

Lucianne.com links to a Daily Mail (U.K.) article about the closure of a South Dakota Smithfield Foods pork packing plant because of a major outbreak of CoV cases there, amounting to nearly half the cases in SD.
Smithfield Foods blamed the migrant workers' ‘living circumstances’ that are ‘different than they are with your traditional American family.’
The article never mentions that Smithfield Foods is “a wholly owned subsidiary of WH Group of China.”  What are the odds that a Chinese-owned plant in rural South Dakota would have a major outbreak of a disease originating in China?

Wouldn’t you imagine that regular visits by representatives of the Chinese owners might well have brought the virus to Sioux Falls, SD?  Perhaps “WH” is an acronym for Wuhan.
