But then the laborers who process the food have to go to work. And often work in close quarters in factories where it's easy to spread the virus.

A lot of food processing isn't strictly necessary. People can be expected to cook or live off existing stock for 2-3 weeks if they do not work.
Spend some time volunteering with local emergency preparedness teams and you'll get a better sense of just how much of the US food system is essential "just in time"
The more urban a place the more "just in time" everything is because the space is more valuable doing literally anything other than warehousing calories
