Of geographic note, Newton County is in the southwest corner of the state - borders Kansas and Oklahoma, and is separated from Arkansas by McDonald County. The poultry industry is pretty heavy in that area - particularly as you head south into Arkansas. Tyson contracts heavily in the region, and it's fairly central to the rest of the US. This (((occurrence))) may be the vanguard of whatever plan they have in mind.

Watch for geographic clusters.

Bird flu is endemic in wild migratory birds (ask the USDA how that happened), culling entire flocks of chickens in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease is futile. You would be better off to just let the flu kill the birds it is going to kill, those that do not die, even if it's only 10% will be immune to that strain of bird flu.

But, it's not about the bird flu at all, it's about control of the food supply. They really do not want people to have access to cheap healthy food.

Did anyone with common sense ask 'them' to PROVE the 'bird flu'? This is the same CDC that said a mask will stop covid when the Warning on every box of masks say the Mask will NOT stop a virus. Get It?

And the dems are now wondering why eggs are so fucking expensive.
