The rising cost of eggs isn’t just about supply and demand—it’s also about #birdflu (H5N1). Outbreaks in poultry farms lead to massive culls, disrupting supply chains and driving up prices. The solution? Smarter surveillance. Let’s rethink how we protect both flocks and finances. #FoodSecurity

CDC’s outbreak publication is back up after the first pause in 70+ years- but it was more focused on fires than #birdflu or #mpox? Interestingly the data included influenza in cats. More surveillance is key to knowing where public health measures are most needed.
