Thank you NP with farming background! That was helpful

The concerning thing is that the dairy cow infections are a mutation of the "flu" infecting the chickens- both of which are also able to infect humans. So far most cases of human infection are people who process eggs/dairy and one lady with chickens in the back yard.

Chicken is cheap because demand is down because people don't understand farming, let alone factory farming (which is most of the industrial chicken farming at this point, both egg and meat). People are scared of bird flu, and chicken is sus.
