Several other companies have been acting in either the same or similar manner.

There is no evidence whatsoever of any contamination of any food but they have chosen to err on the side of caution.

Yeah, but when a company does the RIGHT thing, it's not "news". We have been quite perplexed at some of the news stories the Houston Media has done on this - finding anything they can to make this an ugly story.
The three deaths, for instance, were all people who were already in the hospital with weakened immune systems. I am NOT trying to discount their deaths, not by a long shot. But some of the news reports make it sound like healthy people ate ice cream and died.

I stopped by Blue Bell Creamery this morning. The employee parking lots were full. The guest parking lots - normally packed - had a few cars.
They have a nice big parlor set up, understandably, like an old fashioned ice cream parlor, and it was empty. Tables and chairs - no people. I have NEVER seen it empty. The gift shop was open, and I bought a couple Blue Bell coffee cups. The one I bought for my wife looks like a scaled down half gallon of Home Made Vanilla ice cream.
But - the fact that the employee parking lots were full --- they're continuing to pay their employees even while having no income stream. (except, of course, from their gift shop)

Well, it's sad news -- Blue Bell is laying off employees. They wouldn't do it if they could help it, and this indicates to me that their plans to reopen must be a bit further off than they'd like.

Another local business had announced significant layoffs due to oilfield problems - low oil costs - so this will really hurt the community.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

So, we had our "Free Car Care Clinic" at Church today, and several of the people who brought their cars in were laid off last night from Blue Bell. While the guys are outside servicing the vehicle, the ladies are inside (sorry so sexist) serving coffee and generally visiting with the "customer", most of whom are women. I had told my ministry coordinator that, if the Spirit leads, they could have prayer with the folks who stop by.
When our ladies asked this one lady, who just lost her job at Blue Bell, if they could pray with her, she just burst into tears, and said she had no idea what she was going to do. Our ladies spent the next hour with her, just talking with her, praying with her, encouraging her, and assuring her that they are "in this together". We're working to figure out what else we can do to help so many people who just lost their jobs from Blue Bell, and a half other industries here that pretty much had Blue Bell as their only (or main) client.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

One young man in my Church just believed he would work there all his life - he worked there part time while in high school, then full time when he graduated. MANY people in our community have 20 to 25 years there, having worked there right out of high school. It's a real gut-kick to the community. There was a brand new distribution plant down near Houston that would have provided 250 jobs, and its opening was halted, and that plant lies brand new and empty.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
