Why does this mostly affect the US? I've been abroad most of the year and eggs don't seem overly expensive.

It's spreading abroad, but the US seems to be ground zero. The US's agricultural methods also make it extremely vulnerable to infectious disease (if one breaks through the continuous deluge of antibiotics we pump into our animals).
