Map shows major US egg recall sickness spreading, death reported

Reporting the facts on this has been deemed a "hostile and political act" by Taco and his team.

Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria.

That's quite the window of time. Why such a huge discrepancy?

It would be due to multiple variables. There needs to a certain amount of bacteria in the small intestine. Some of the variables would be, the amount of bacteria initially ingested, number of bacteria that make it past the stomach, immune system of the host, time for the bacteria in the intestine to reach a concentration to cause symptoms.
- Maybe how many healthy bacteria in the gut biome, too. Thanks!
Probably a lack of good information - with only a hundred odd cases and not having had much time to get the facts, I'm betting that's a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) and we'll have better info the more time has passed.
- What? Salmonella has huge numbers. Ever been on holiday in North Africa?

Americans cannot trust their government to keep them safe anymore, it's now a free for all.

I haven't trusted the government to keep me safe in my entire life. Consumer protection was almost noon existent. Healthcare is a joke. Deregulation is rampant.

USA is such a shit country, I was absolutely disgusted seeing the eggs are packaged in styrofoam instead of cardboard!
Americans are ruining their country failing to regulate even the most obvious things, because Americans believe regulation is bad, when most of the time, even bad regulation is better than no regulation.

I'm American and I don't believe any of the things you say I do.
Our politicians sure believe it though
- Americans believe <> all Americans.
  It just means it's a common belief held by many Americans.
  Obviously in no country do everybody hold the same belief about anything.
  So arguing against it in that meaning is a straw man.
Some cartons are still cardboard,or thin plastic. I think most of our lumber goes overseas for furniture and flooring production, last I heard, but that was a long time ago.
- Our egg cartons are made from recycled paper.
- No reason to use plastic either. Except it's maybe 2 cents cheaper per package.
  Using plastic when cardboard is an excellent solution is just pure evil.
Americans believe regulation is bad
Were taught to and continuously are taught to believe regulation is bad.
\ Let's not glance over how hard it is (& how much money is poured into this) to convince people that are suffering direct consequences of unregulated & deregulated businesses on daily basis how regulation is bad and only further deregulation, that brought on problems in the first place, will help solve them - at not at a single point even presenting the logic why would that ever work, like even theoretically.
(Even their 'golden era' of some 50~80 years ago everyone for deregulation is so nostalgic about was the era brought upon & maintained by high regulation investments supported by higher top-bracket & profit taxes.)
And it's not like regulation is even bad for economy overall (even financially looking), it's just had for the current businesses in power (and even that only for short term gains). So minority's whims rule undisputed over the majority & ecology.
- Amen.
  And it’s not like regulation is even bad for economy overall
  Exactly, regulation is actually beneficial for the economy, because it stimulates fair competition.
- I’m starting to think most Americans are complete idiots of the worst order.
- Regulation isn't bad, corruption and over reach are.
  Example, dumping mercury in the public water supply is bad.
  Telling me I can't add sugar to my own water is bad.
  Big difference, and the current government will do both
  Edit: guys, this isn't a real world analogy , just a simple example to illustrate a stance

If only we had some sort of agency to check if food is safe...

It would also help if we didn't raise chickens in absolutely disgusting conditions
- Yeah.
  And now imagine the sheer power of this single industry that EU countries are getting pressured directly (lobbyists) and indirectly (literal USA politicians) hard to lower our standards just so they could export their torture chicken carcasses here.
  They succeeded in a few other industries but with chickens the standards behind food safety are just the right level of complex (mostly bcs it's not just one agency to put pressure on, and not that the regulatory definitions are complex or anything they do being over the top - I do want industries regulated and have regular monitored reports on various things, that's the only way you know the guidelines are followed).

How are those egg prices now, Donnie?

Poison the eggs, less demand, price go down... Right? Stable genius move.
