To the best of your knowledge, these places that have had to cull their flocks, they’re not selling that meat are they??

Not sure. To my knowledge, it wouldn't be dangerous, anyway, unless you eat raw meat or eggs. Thoroughly cooked, fried or boiled, neither is a problem.

At least some places are taking a sensible approach to this virus.

How does something like this travel across continents? Do we export or import chickens? What am I missing?

Wild birds migrate globally and carry the virus with them. Mingle with domestic bird farms, and poop. Domestic chickens then pick it up.

Not rocket science and this has been discussed frequently
