Not wearing a tin-foil hat, but that »Investigation Notice« from the CDC emits a foul smell:
Either somebody urgently needed to prove that her/his job is irreplaceable or, and i believe this is the more likely explanation, the egg-mafia begins to feel the effect of people raising chickens and ducks for eggs in their backyards, thus buying less eggs at the stores.
It would not be the first time that corporate America makes large »contributions« to try to influence regulations to their favor…
But i'm ranting! Back to the article: Very well written and puts the number of cases in that »outbreak« in a better context. And i must agree, calling fifty-two (52!) people an »outbreak« is as ridiculous as banning
dihydrogenmonoxide (
DHMO).
