than 140% since april according to market research firms. >> it's hard to imagine to get your head around the numbers, 48 million birds being destroyed and makes you wonder how long for the chicken population before we saw toshe bird flu last year. >> reporter: yeah. the numbers have certainly been staggering here. in terms of egg producers, many are expected to begin bringing birds back here in iowa this fall. the expectation is that we'll see production begin to ramp up at the end of the year but officials are warning it will take 12 to 18 months for supply levels to fully return to normal. >> morgan, thank you very much. in this country, bird flu has only sickened birds. no human cases have been found. bu at the cdc, is sister the sister centers for disease control and pre ntion is preparing for the possibility. e influenza division to talk more about this. doctor, thank you for being here today.

>> my pleasure.s>> bird flu cases in humans in this country, but who are the odds and the risks that could change? >> reporter: it could change . >> it could change. we think the inflection of bid flu viruses is low, it's low right now. no human infections with these bird flu viruses. and these are the first of these types of viruses that we're seeing in the united states. and because they're new, we're a little concerned because we don't knoi how dangerous they could be and at least right row, they seem to be quite dangerous for birds but perhaps not so dangerous for people. >> what conditions would generally lead to a strain like this jumping from birds to humans? how does that happen? >> it can happen in many different ways. bird flu viruses, flu viruses in general, they change all the time. they can change in big ways though and the way that could happen is if a bird or a person or another animal is infected with two different kinds of flu viruses.

and what happens sometimes is that these flu viruses will swap some genetic material and create a brand new virus with certain traits of each virus and if that happens and we create a virus that is perhaps more easily transmissable td.o people, then we could be in for a quite different situation than what we're seeing right now. >> who is potentially at risk and how should they protect themselves? >> we think that the risk to the general population is low. i think that the general population should avoid sick or dead birds. i think haas the best way to avoid any pos bility of being infected with this bird flu. if you have to encounter sick or dying birds and some people do in the course of responding to these outbreaks in birds, we recommend people wear full personal protective equipment to protect themselves with face masks, eye protection, and cover-alls so t t they minimize their risk of being infected with the bird flu virus. >> do people need to worry about

it being transmitted through meat, eggs that they're eating? >> they really don't. there's no evidence to suggest that you can get bird flu from eating properly cooked poultry or eggs at all. >> doctor, you're a specialist in influenza. i'm sure you know well about 1918 and the spanish flu that killed 50 million people around the world. is that the type of thing that you are thinking could happen again at some point? what do we o to try to make sure that it doesn't? >> that, of course, is always the concern when we encounter these new flu viruses. i should be very clear that these, this bird flu outbreak in the united states is not the start of a pandemic. we are preparing for human cases of infection with this bird flu virus, even though there have been none, we don't want to see any, but we are getting ready in case there are cases. >> if there were cases to show up in the human population here, how long would it take to get a vaccine that could be distributed to the broader pop

population population? >> it would take time to get a vaccine that would be distributed to people. vaccination would be one of the strategies we could employ if this bird flu made the jump from an ma'ams to imals to people. we've started the vaccine process by identifying viruses that could be used for vaccin we've found good candida antes for this vaccine and we're holding them to s if they're needed. then they'll be sen to masinufacturers to make mechanic if vaccines. >> dr. young, thank you for your time today. >> thank you. here's a look at what's making news as we head into a new week on the money. ta wil sales ounce back in july rising 6/10 a percent in june. business risen by driving demand for cars as well as furniture an restaurant spending. it's the third consecutive month acedcounting for two-thirds of the u.s. economy. more signs of an improving economy. applic

it's a huge opportunity. soc many women love working with hands but never translated that into a career. >> how did you get into this position? what was your inspiration? my father was with a business called carpet and cleaning comprny. he would go out there and suck the carpets, water on christmas day when he didn't want to send up others out. i grew up in a male-dominated business but also a franchise business. we're short on techs. what about wome.? >> i'm guessing it's not as easy as showing up tomorrow and saying, okay, i want to be a plumber. how do you train them? hoasw do they get skills? >> it depends on the trade. some trades like plumbing require licensed. and get involved in working for a plumbing organization to get their hours in. in some cases, it's years and years of training. >> which is why you've come up with the idea of a scholarship. >> we created this scholarship

program in 2012 called women in the trades with the goal of providing $1500 scholarships to women interested in any area of the trades regardless of whether they're coming to work for us with companies or not. so the idea is to get them involved, get them help and what we're finding is women who have received the scholarship are saying thank you because now working two jobs to get through school, this has taken a burden off and now they can focus on learning the trade and working. >> you were on undercover boss. what did that kind of bring to you in terms of an eye opening experience? >> i went to find out if core values were making it into the front lines because at any time, we have 9,000 ront service professionals representing our brand and important that the customer has an amazing ex perience. one of the greatest surprises i had while undercover is i had a chance to work with a female service professional from female appliance.

>> in europe, thanks to the strong dollar, the decline of euro and cost of living is much lower there. the living invest overseas and they have the top five, three of the countries are in europe. portugal tops the list. also, france and italy and then in central america, mexico and bolize. >> i would worry what happens if the dollar turns around in interest rates. >> they do this every year. you have to do long term, whether or not you can really afford to live over time. there's a lot of factors to consider when you look at living abroad. one of the things that's interesting about these places is the cost of living right now is relatively low. the health care and the access to health care is pretty strong, strong community particularly in the central american countries and when you're thinking about central america, you're close to home. you can fly back. >> cheaper flights coming back. that makes a lot of sense. so three in europe, two in central america.

what about how much it costs to live in the areas? compared to the united states? >> it can be a pretty nice savings for some people when you look at the cost of living and the health care and the food and the internet and the, you know, mobile phone prices and all of that. somewhere between $20,000 to $15,000 a year and lower in some places. the cheapest place in france in the french country side and the most expensive if you can call it that, puerto vallarta mexico, but still $23,000 to live there. >> looking at finances, what are some of the considerations you have to make before you make the leap? >> i want to say off the bat, this is for a couple, definitely cheaper. you want to look at the total cost of living and try to factor in as best you can how much it's going to cost you and also look at, and this is where a lot of retirees really need to think about no matter the quality and the access to health care.

that's key, might be the top cost that you have to incur when you retire and the other thing to think about, this is interesting to me, i'll move overseas and never pay taxes again and that's not true. an american citizen, the irs will find you no matter where you live. you need to be really aware that the tax fight could still be there for you and think about what the x pack community will be like. will you have a support network and i think as people look at the cost of living abroad and the romanticize how great it's going to be live near the beach or favorite vineyard, they don't think about the fact they're away from friends and family to support them, doctors in hospitals and health care facilities that they've grown accustomed to as well. it's important to factor in all of those considerations as well. >> sharon, thank you. >> sure. up next "on the money," a look at the news for the week ahead. and with this 100-year-old working musician said are the keys to a long life.
