Violet MadderIt's time to start digging in to my mask project! I need good, solid resources to back up a presentation I'll be giving to the local public. What are the most reliable and ethical doctors, journalists, advocates, research, statistics, or sites that you've seen? I'll be talking about air quality, advocating environmental justice through citizen science and mutual aid, and my focus is going to be ventilation and masking.The program is organized by a local group of folks that started putting up air sensors all over town because of toxic chemical leaks from nearby refineries. They got a grant through a university, and they may be able to help me out in getting an air quality sensor so I can test the CO2 in local buildings. I'd also like to be able to pass out some mask samples. I've been trying to find info on other things like sip valves, elastomeric respirator exhaust valve filter adapters, good sites to buy masks and so on. Since these issues got politicized and the CDC and WHO are increasingly corrupt/hamstrung, finding good info is a fuckin MESS. I could really use some help! What's been very interesting to me is, the folks who promote masking are usually ALSO right on other issues. Masks are required at the local anarchist book fairs, for example, which to me says a LOT. The people I follow here on Mastodon who are solidly against genocide, fascism, capitalism, and lesser evilism are the SAME people who are solidly for issues like universal healthcare, right to repair, accessibility, direct action, labor organizing, etc etc-- you have a moral consistency that inspires my respect and hope, and I want to learn more from you!

DoomsdaysCWWhat the World’s First Case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BirdFlu</a> in Sheep Means for the Virus’s SpreadThe detection of bird flu in a sheep is another sign that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#H5N1</a> virus is adapting to hop to new hostsBy Josh Fischman, March 24, 2025Excerpt: "Discovery of H5N1 in a sheep enlarges the list of nonbird animals now known to be susceptible to the virus. In the U.S. that list includes cows, pigs, domestic and wild cats, coyotes, bears, rodents, raccoons, opossums and marine mammals. Seventy people in the U.S. have also been infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and one of them died. Although the risk to humans remains low, and person-to-person transmission is not known to have happened, the virus’s ability to infect different kinds of animals highlights that the microbe can evolve and adapt to infect new hosts, scientists say. As it spreads, it warrants careful and continued scrutiny, officials say."Read more: <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-the-worlds-first-case-of-bird-flu-in-sheep-means-for-the-viruss-spread/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-the-worlds-first-case-of-bird-flu-in-sheep-means-for-the-viruss-spread/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HPAINews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HPAINews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AvianInfluenza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AvianInfluenza</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AvianFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AvianFlu</a>

Dogs appear less susceptible to the current H5N1 strain, though this could evolve."Cats who are most at risk include those who: - Consume unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked poultry - Are exposed to sick or deceased wild birds, particularly waterfowl like geese and ducks - Come in contact with poultry or dairy cows on farms or in backyard flocks and those in contact with infected people or animals"You can limit the risk of exposure and infection by keeping cats indoors or in enclosed '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/catios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#catios</a>.' Also, avoid feeding unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked poultry (chicken, turkey and duck). This includes raw diets. Prevent your cats from coming in contact with sick or deceased wild birds, particularly waterfowl such as geese and ducks, and prevent contact with dairy cows or poultry."Monitor your cat for signs of H5N1 infection, which include coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, trouble breathing, lethargy, disorientation, trouble walking and sudden onset of severe disease or death without prior signs of illness or injury."One last note: Experts’ understanding of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#H5N1</a> avian influenza is continually evolving and recommendations may change as we learn more.

YogthosThe avian flu virus has shown signs of mutating to more easily infect both animals and humans.The USDA has recorded about 70 human cases and there are concerns about the virus attempting to make a move on humans. Public health officials continue to say the risk to humans remains low, but scientists warn that the explosive spread of the virus around the world and in an increasing number of animal species means it is multiplying out of control.<a href="https://www.truthdig.com/articles/mutations-misinformation-and-the-mother-of-all-pandemics/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.truthdig.com/articles/mutations-misinformation-and-the-mother-of-all-pandemics/</a><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/birdflu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdflu</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/H5N" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#H5N</a>

But state Agricultural Commissioner Thom Petersen said that is likely a short-term reprieve, as H5N1 bird flu could gain a foothold in the state this spring as migrating birds carry the virus north.“We’re watching the migration very closely,” Petersen said. “I live on a river, and my anxiety level goes very high when I see the geese and the swans and everything that are returning at this time.” <a href="https://www.startribune.com/on-the-cusp-of-spring-migration-walz-urges-dollar4m-bird-flu-defense/601245667" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.startribune.com/on-the-cusp-of-spring-migration-walz-urges-dollar4m-bird-flu-defense/601245667</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BirdFlu</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicHealth</a>
