Reviewing hard-boiled eggs, really? That's the easiest way to avoid having to discard suspect eggs, or so I thought. There is no way a flu virus can survive hard-boiling. Cooked chicken as opposed to raw chicken is another way; as long as the butchering and processing is done on the same side of the border as the outbreak, you can't go wrong.
