EGG SHORTAGE CURRENT STATUS

RFK Jr has seeded the idea that we can let bird flu just rip through chicken flocks — the thinking is we will find the immune birds that way, and he is opposed to culling because that's how you get animal-to-human bird flu cases. The Ag Sec seems bought into this; she claims she knows farmers bought into this as well. 

Meanwhile public health officials say that this idea is bad, in part because there's not enough genetic diversity at these farms to have it make sense, and in part because it will explode the odds that the virus mutates to a form that allows for human to human transmission https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/health/kennedy-bird-flu.html

Independently of what's decided on culling, Initial biosecurity improvements are underway in 10 states but it will take months before those changes have meaningful effects
