As this paper went to press, news had just broken of another massive outbreak in remote Alaska. Akutan, which lies near the tip of the Aleutian Islands some 760 miles from Anchorage, is home to the Trident Seafoods plant, which is just starting to process Bering Sea pollock. What started with just a handful of employees testing positive over the weekend has now ballooned to 135 workers testing positive — nearly 50% of those tested. Other seafood processing plants have suffered a similar fate this winter — Unisea Inc. in Unalaska had to halt operations after officials say a New Year's party in company housing resulted in some 55 employees testing positive.
