    The bigger issue is how is bird flu getting into chicken facilities where the chickens dont leave the facilities? These arent free range chickens. If you have it in barns its being brought in. Biosecurity should be checked. Or is it another way to just raise prices?

      There have only been two cases now of avian flu in people in this country. The first was a year or so ago and now the man who caught it from an infected cow. Although this flu spreads very easily between birds and animals - industrial food animals that are crammed into pens - a human only catches the virus from close physical contact with an infected animal and then as of now cannot pass the infection along to another human. The concern is that some day a human will be infected with avian flu while they are ill with say regular influenza helping the avian flu to mutate into a new virus that now is passed via droplets between people…though that’s fortunately very unlikely. The bigger issue is protecting the industrial animal flocks or herds from a massive pandemic…which is why you read about the destruction of millions of egg layers. My apologies, but I’m a nurse with 28 years experience and sometimes speak up to respond when someone sounds concerned. I hope this helps.
