Trader Joe’s and Costco Limit Egg Sales Amid Nationwide Shortage
Egg prices in the US are skyrocketing due to supply issues. Grocery stores like Trader Joe’s and Costco are now limiting how many eggs you can buy. These limits are a response to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, which has killed millions of hens. This has led to shortages and higher prices. More than half of shoppers say they’ve seen shortages. Trader Joe’s limits customers to one dozen eggs, while some Costco stores limit to three cartons. The bird flu has caused significant disruptions, and it’s unclear when the situation will improve.

Crowds can suddenly turn deadly. New research has clues that could prevent disaster.
Large crowds at concerts or sports events can be thrilling, but they can also be deadly. New research gives insight into how people behave in packed settings by studying crowds at the San Fermin Festival in Spain. Researchers found that groups of 500 people move in circular patterns every 18 seconds. This pattern was also seen in the 2010 Love Parade disaster. These findings suggest that crowd dynamics can help predict dangerous situations. Physicist Francois Gu says this research could act as a detector for potential catastrophes, providing a way to prevent future tragedies.
