Egg prices didn’t raise because of a flu.
Egg prices raised because the government asked for the killing of a hundred million of chickens - for fear of spreading bird flu. It may have been the right call, we’ll never know.
Small difference, but important.
Here, CNN is obscuring the fact that the chickens killed were not tested or confirmed to have flu, but some around them might have so they had to go too.
