That’s a chilling title. How long before we have terrorists doing something similar over a crowd of people? It’s also very hard to track down the perpetrator.
As soon as everyone's submitted their bio-profiles to 23andMe DNA collection.....
They said the gangs buy the pork, not buying and selling futures...
This is the plot of an episode of Billions https://ew.com/recap/billions-season-4-episode-3/
> That is, he doesn’t lose until the chicken report is suddenly delayed after Axe Capital has already confirmed its massive position.
> So, he goes completely off the rails. “I have a solution,” he tells Axe over the phone, “a…final solution.” He grabs a diseased chicken from a separate quarantine farm and heads back to infect all the other chickens.

Jeez, that's dystopian. Bioterrorism for profit.
I don't doubt farmers believed it and implemented jamming. But this story about drones spraying viruses is just propaganda to deflect negative attention away from the authorities and farmers themselves during this crisis. It's a nice catchy headline with absolutely no support.
