I've contracted covid twice. Both were when visiting the US. And that was before this numpty was in charge. This will not go well.

Any random person in the US has probably had COVID at least four times by now

I knew he was just a huge shill for the reptile egg shadow industry. Before you know it, all US omelets will be made from factory-farmed sea turtle eggs.

I made a joke about this in a German community and yet here we are. Satire is dead, murdered by the imbeciles in the Trump administration.

are poultry prices going up like egg prices are in the states?

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

No, they're different chickens and the virus has been spreading more through egg laying chickens. In part because they're in different locations.

Let him visit one of these farms for a good few days.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

From what I know it's mostly the trucks transporting between farms. They're not being cleaned frequently enough or well enough. Though, there is I think some cases of it being transmitted in migrating wildlife.

Do you want plague chickens? Because this how you get plague chickens.

Historically this strategy hasn't really worked out so well for the masses...
