Everyone needs to start paying attention to this crisis, because America'southward rapidly growing bird influenza pandemic is going to deeply affect all of us at the grocery store. This pandemic began on February 8th when a confirmed example of HPAI was confirmed in a domestic flock, and on March ninth I published an article that discussed the fact that about two.8 million birds (mostly chickens and turkeys) had already died. If the pandemic had fizzled out afterward that offset month, it wouldn't accept ultimately been a major deal. But instead, this pandemic has escalated dramatically here in the second calendar month. If cases continue to spread like wildfire, nosotros volition soon be facing a nightmare of absolutely epic proportions.

On Fri, I was stunned to learn that an outbreak of bird flu at an egg-laying subcontract in Iowa is going to result in the alternative of over 5 million chickens...

The confirmation of bird flu at another Iowa egg-laying farm volition force the killing of more than v million chickens, state officials said Friday.

It'south the 2d confirmed case of avian influenza in Buena Vista County, about 160 miles (257 kilometers) northwest of Des Moines, but the latest outbreak is at an operation with 5.3 meg chickens. The earlier case was at a farm with nigh 50,000 turkeys.

Just retrieve virtually that.

Five millions chickens suddenly gone.

What practice you think that is going to do to the price of eggs?

This pandemic originally erupted in states on the e coast, but now it is really raging in the middle of the nation.

For example, HPAI only spread to 2 more counties in Kansas...

Country officials say a strain of bird flu has shown upward in two more than Kansas counties.

The Kansas Dept. of Agriculture appear Friday that samples show cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in two non-commercial lawn mixed-species flocks (poultry), one in Dickinson Co. and the other in rural Sedgwick Co.

And HPAI has just been confirmed at more facilities in South Dakota...

Officials in S Dakota said on Sabbatum that 85,000 birds in two country facilities were euthanized amid the state's first avian influenza outbreak since 2015.

The outbreaks took place on two farms in Charles Minx county, located in the southeastern part of the state, where the flu was first detected in turkeys, according to South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB). Other birds in close contact with the turkeys were euthanized equally well.

Make sure that y'all are sitting down for what I am going to share with you next.

After the showtime calendar month, the decease toll from this pandemic was sitting at approximately ii.8 1000000 .

Co-ordinate to Pull a fast one on Business, the total expiry cost here in the second calendar month of the pandemic has now reached nearly 12.six million...

The latest case confirmed past the state Department of Agriculture means nearly 12.vi million craven and turkeys in at to the lowest degree eight states take been killed or volition be destroyed soon.

The 2d month of this pandemic began on March 8th, then that means that the decease toll has risen past close to 10 meg in less than 2 weeks.

Let that sink in for a moment.

If this pandemic continues to rise on such a trajectory, what is our food supply going to expect like a few months down the road?

According to Null Hedge, the price of wholesale eggs reached $1.lx on Wednesday...

Urner Barry data shows wholesale eggs jumped 10 cents to $1.60 a dozen Wednesday, the almost significant daily gain since the early days of the virus pandemic.

If HPAI continues to spread in a manner that is completely out of control, the wholesale price of eggs is going to arrive, far higher than that.

Of form chicken and turkey were both becoming more expensive as meat prices soared even before this pandemic came along.

Now we are potentially facing very existent shortages of both chicken and turkey in the months alee, and prices could easily go to levels that nosotros have never been before.

And this comes at a fourth dimension when global nutrient supplies are getting tighter and tighter with each passing day. If you take any doubt about this, please bank check out this commodity.

The war in Ukraine has created an enormous "supply daze", and bizarre global weather patterns are certainly not helping matters.

Global hunger was already rapidly rising even earlier 2022 started, and now nosotros have a existent nightmare on our hands.

Equally far as bird flu is concerned, we better hope that a strain doesn't mutate that can spread easily among humans.

Because bird flu typically has an extremely high expiry rate in people. The following comes from the official CDC website...

More than 700 human infections with Asian HPAI H5N1 viruses have been reported to WHO from primarily fifteen countries in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Europe and the Nigh Due east since Nov 2003. Indonesia, Vietnam and Egypt have reported the highest number of human HPAI Asian H5N1 cases to appointment.

The first written report of a human infection with Asian H5N1 in the Americas was in Canada on January viii, 2014 and occurred in a traveler recently returning from China. Although man infections with this virus are rare, approximately 60% of the cases have died.

Over the past two years, a pandemic with an extremely depression death rate has caused unprecedented panic all over the earth.

Can you imagine what would happen if a pandemic with a 60 percent death rate were to suddenly interruption out?

Words like "catastrophic" and "apocalyptic" would not exist sufficient to describe the horror that nosotros would exist facing.

Just even if HPAI doesn't leap to humans and cause a historic "pestilence", the truth is that we are still going to have to deal with a crisis of enormous proportions in the months ahead.

Millions of chickens and turkeys have already died, and millions more will presently die in this land.

That means that there volition be a lot less eggs than usual.

And that as well means that there volition exist a lot less chicken meat and turkey meat than usual.

This is all happening in the context of the sort of major global nutrient crisis that we accept all been warned near, and that global food crunch looks like it is going to escalate dramatically in the months alee.

If y'all take not been paying much attention upward until now, you need to wake up.

This is the real deal.

Allow us hope that this bird flu pandemic can exist brought under control somehow, because if it isn't we will soon be seeing headlines that one time would accept been unthinkable.

Comment: Romania reports bird flu of an outbreak that on farm near the Bulgarian edge that also resulted in a significant choose:

Romania has reported a new outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian flu, usually chosen bird flu, on a farm in the south of the state, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) said on Monday.

The outbreak in the boondocks of Oinacu most the Bulgarian border killed 6,770 birds and led to the slaughter of the residual of the flock of most 34,000 animals, the Paris-based body said, quoting information from Romania'south wellness authorities.

And the UK has ordered all birds be brought in doors equally function of their contagion prevention program, meaning at that place are at present no eggs that can be considered 'costless-range':

Consumers will no longer exist able to buy free-range eggs in the U.k. from Monday, with birds non having been allowed outdoors since November due to fears of avian flu outbreaks.

Eggs sold in shops will have to carry a sticker or label saying they are in fact "barn eggs", the name given to eggs produced by hens permanently housed indoors.

The UK was hit past what government officials have said is the "largest e'er outbreak of avian flu" this wintertime, with more than than 80 reported outbreaks in England.

As a result, birds reared for meat and eggs have been ordered by the UK government to be kept indoors since November to reduce the take chances of outbreaks. The length of time they take been kept indoors means their eggs tin can at present no longer be labelled gratuitous-range.

The rules apply to all birds, whether produced by i hen in a garden or a big-calibration poultry business organisation.

Farmers had hoped the government would elevator the housing social club side by side week, but later new avian flu outbreaks in the past week, officials take determine to keep the order in place.

Suffolk-based egg producer Daniel Brown, who keeps more than 40,000 gratis-range hens, said his birds had coped well indoors and so far.

"We've given them extra things in the shed similar hay and grit to give them things to peck at and keep them amused."

Brown said avian flu outbreaks usually drop off every bit the atmospheric condition warms, and then he hopes the latest housing order will be lifted soon.

"A chicken won't be bothered about non going outside in December and January, but when it's overnice in May they'll want to exist out late into the evening," he said.

The UK has not been alone in existence affected past avian flu outbreaks this year, with continental Europe suffering one its worst winters for the disease also.

French republic has been trialling avian influenza vaccines, only the solution has been complicated by the numerous strains of bird flu and the bans some countries have on importing poultry meat from countries that vaccinate birds.

A spokesperson for the Section for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: "The 16-calendar week grace period we immune for free-range eggs has at present been exceeded, and eggs must now exist marketed as 'barn eggs'. Nosotros have worked closely with the sector and retailers to implement these changes as smoothly as possible."

The British Retail Consortium said that supermarkets would exist providing signage to explain the change to consumers, but that "when the current measures are lifted, eggs will go back to being free-range".

The National Farmers' Wedlock's chief poultry adviser, Aimee Mahony, said: "Shoppers may notice different labels on egg packs explaining that the eggs have been laid by hens temporarily housed to protect their wellness and welfare. One time the take a chance levels accept reduced and the housing measures have been lifted past Defra, birds will be able to go outside again."
