Everything is rapidly spinning out of control

 CDC Multistate salmonella outbreaks tied to backyard chickens reported in 43 states

 

 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is looking into a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections linked to backyard chickens.

The health agency said on Thursday that a total of 163 people were infected across 43 states, but the total number of infected individuals is "likely much higher." It said the illnesses started around Feb. 12, 2021, through April 25, 2021. Epidemiologic and laboratory data claims that contact with backyard poultry is making people sick.

North Carolina and Iowa had the highest numbers of reported salmonella cases from backyard poultry, followed by California, Virginia and Georgia.

Health experts said people who reported being sick from the outbreak range from younger than a year old to 87 years old. An investigation found that 58% of the cases are female. Of the 109 people with information available to health officials, 34 have been hospitalized. The CDC said no deaths have been reported connected to this.

The CDC said that poultry like chicken and ducks can carry salmonella germs even if they look healthy and clean. It claims the germs can easily spread.

 

Wow 163 people and no deaths!

That's too many dammit.

I'm surprised they don't want all backyard chickens euthanized immediately.

I wonder if masks would work?

Those motherfuckers will stop anything germ like.

I prefer my outbreaks be more outbreaky.

But that's just me.
