Bird flu in humans, typically, is similar to regular flu - can be pretty mild, can be more serious. According to the CDC, there were 70 human cases recorded over the years, with 1 person dying. No human to human transmission. OTOH, it may be present in a variety of wild animals and birds. Humans usually get it through close contacts with infected birds or their droppings. So, it makes sense to be careful and take precautions. Not sure that destroying millions of chickens “wholesale” is justified. It sounds like eliminating the infection among birds completely - will simply not happen.

I used to get farm fresh eggs at the local pharmacy for $4.00/doz. They called them “Pharm Fresh.” Since moved so don’t know if they’ve raised prices to keep up with the market.

Hi Jack, We've been buying eggs from a neighbor for years now. So much bigger and the yokes are stronger. Last year they were $3.00 a dozen and now they are $4.00. Bob

Dr. Peter McCullough said the large flocks being culled are tested by combining ten bird samples in the laboratory as one, so a single positive test cannot be isolated and eliminated with precision. My sister gets her beef, and maybe eggs as well from a nearby Amish farmer and when she asked him, his theory was that chickens need to get out to roam regularly to get sunlight and peck and eat at whatever they naturally do. The pent-up unnatural conditions and lighting of large scale hen and broiler farms is conducive to the spread of diseases. Avian flu is also observed in migratory birds and its variations have been known about for at least 100 years. Nearly all of the people that contract it live in very close, tight quarters near livestock and often already have compromised immune systems.
