Guess you got to be extra clean and careful handling it now
Raw chicken can be contaminated with a variety of bacteria, including:
Campylobacter: A common contaminant of raw chicken that can cause food poisoning, also known as campylobacteriosis
Salmonella: A common contaminant of raw chicken that can cause food poisoning
Clostridium perfringens: A common contaminant of raw chicken that can cause food poisoning
Staphylococcus aureus: Can cause food poisoning in people, and is found on some clinically healthy poultry
Clostridium botulinum: A bacteria that produces a potent toxin that can cause botulism in birds that eat food or drink water containing it
Escherichia coli (E. coli): A large and diverse group of bacteria that can be found on raw or undercooked chicken
Eating raw or undercooked chicken can cause food poisoning, which typically manifests as:
Diarrhea, Abdominal pain and cramping, Nausea, Vomiting, Fever, and Aches.
Bird flu, also known as avian influenza, can have a range of effects on humans, from mild to severe and even fatal:
Symptoms
Symptoms can include:
Fever or feeling feverish
Cough
Sore throat
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Conjunctivitis (eye tearing, redness, irritation, or discharge from eye)
Headaches
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or seizures (less common)
Severity
Most infections are mild or have no symptoms. However, within days of symptoms appearing, it's possible to develop more severe complications such as pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

So my friend went to the local grocery store (MN) this morning and told me an 18 pack of eggs was $10. It's crazy,...already. Three weeks ago they were $7.
Moisture management: Sheep's wool fibers are hygroscopic, meaning they can absorb and release moisture. Wool can absorb up to 33% of its weight in water without feeling damp.
Protein fibers: The protein fibers in sheep's wool don't provide a breeding ground for mold.
Keratin: Wool is made of keratin, which doesn't support mold growth.
Insulation: Wool insulates well, creating an environment that's inhospitable to mold.
R-value: Wool's R-value persists over time, unlike other materials that can degrade due to moisture buildup.
"We're advocating for a redirection of public funds away from animal-based protein and towards supporting animal-free methods of food production to enhance our food security and public health," Crystal expresses. Our reliance and dependence on animal-based protein really puts us at risk for pandemic viruses like avian influenza."

I don't know where you got your information from but I worked in the controlled environment industry (that's mass chicken laying or food breeding houses/sheds) and a 10,000 bird house was small and being as I still have friends still in the industry and NONE and I mean none have been slaughtered for this so called prevention scheme. And I live in the centre of the country and have heard nothing about any cases and being as they put up large posters on the side of the road, I'd say yes scare tactics.

Cats are dying in Pacific North West Bird flu kills more than half the big cats at a Washington sanctuary, and Cat dies of bird flu after eating contaminated cat food, company issues recall.
After the last few years of MSM disinformation and propaganda I have to question the valitiy of this report.
The sanctuary has been closed to the public until further notice, so how can anyone prove 20 big cats died? Take the word of 'officials' at face value?
Nope; not going to happen. Burn us once, shame on you.
