I was told Trump was going to make egg prices great again.

Eggs are about to get even more expensive, expert says. Here’s how much:

@TonyStark Aldi price rose from about $2.60 /dozen just before the election to $7.42 this week. In other stores they are up to $14.99/dozen. Bird flu has decimated

the egg business in CA and elsewhere.

As a rational person I knew this was coming and am thinking ahead about egg substitutes.

I didn't blame Biden, and I won't blame trump for the virus. I will feel grim satisfaction as another of trump's absurd campaign promises comes to nought .

Go ahead and blame Trump for the virus bc thanks to him, public health has become political poison, and as the bird flu spreads his admin will do jack all about it. I’m old enough to remember when the barest hint of bird flu resulted in massive vaccine drives. Sigh. At least one is in the works, I’ve heard.

I blame President Felon for 90% of how awful everything in the USA has become due to covid. But Biden gets 10% of my ire for declaring the pandemic "over" and not doubling down on all possible safety measures.

Eggs and chicken are going to go astronomical before bird flu is over. And bird flu won't be over anytime soon, thanks to every troublesome sockbag who helped get the Felon back into the White House.

@courtcan @lucybeahere @TonyStark

Plenty of blame to go around. I have so much contempt and loathing for trump that I've run out of pejoratives. Same for trump voters.

I am extremely concerned about H5N1. It has already led to mass die offs of marine mammals here in CA. It has also affected 70% of CA dairy herds.

CDC says the threat to humans is low, but I now have little faith in the agency. It's bad under Biden. As of next week, it will be unimaginably worse. 😔

@Barbramon1 @lucybeahere @TonyStark Agreed. I just hope it's not as contagious human-to-human as COVID is. The "regular" flu is contagious enough though. 😕

@courtcan @lucybeahere @TonyStark So far no human to human contact has occurred. The fact that is has moved from birds to mammals, and that it will almost certainly mutate again is alarming.

On Friday Biden admin gave a huge grant to Moderna to develop a vaccine. Was good to hear, but wish it had been done at that scale much earlier. Will the next admin continue the work?
