The United States reported the first outbreak of the deadly H7N9 bird flu on a poultry farm since 2017, as the country continues to grapple with another bird flu strain that has infected humans and caused egg prices to hit record highs.

The strain that has caused most damage to poultry in recent years and the death of one person in the U.S. is H5N1.

But the H7N9 bird flu virus has proved to have a far higher death rate, killing nearly 40 per cent of the humans infected since it was first detected in 2013, the World Health Organization said.
 
There's no human-to-human infection… yet. If it's allowed to continue to run rampant like RFK Jr wants it to, then the chances of it mutating and becoming spreadable amongst humans rises every day.

No worries, eggs will be $100/dozen, easiest way to decrease demand is to cull the herd. It will only be the weaklings and losers that die anyways.
