Are Japanese folks immune?
The standards for eggs are really strict in Japan, eggs are so safe already that eating raw eggs is a commonly accepted practice.
I like to imagine they have higher standards at their laying facilities, but theirs could be just as monstrous as our filthy torture facilities that produce most cheap eggs here.
Maybe bird flu just hasn’t gotten there yet.
