It'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!

Next post below will be where I list the sources I've collected, updating as I go.

Back in 1997, it took months for scientists to confirm the first bird flu death in Hong Kong, our publisher @alexip718's hometown.

Nearly three decades later, is history repeating itself with the current U.S. H5N1 outbreak?

The infected bird in the Gotha district was a dead buzzard, according to the German News Agency. Poultry farmers with larger herds in parts of the district must house their animals in stables or under a structure protected from wild birds, according to the Gotha District Office.

From the article: "The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reported 15 more H5N1 avian flu detections in mammals, including domestic cats in four states.

"The latest cats to test positive for the virus were from Kansas, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Illinois. Sample collection dates range from March 19 through March 24. It's not clear if any of the cases are linked to exposure to contaminated raw food for cats.

"Newly reported detections also include five skunks, three in New Mexico and two in Texas, two house mice in Iowa, an Arctic fox in Alaska, a red fox in New York, a raccoon in Kentucky, and a bobcat in Connecticut."

No tenemos control sobre cómo se contabiliza la mortalidad. Por ejemplo, cambiaron las medias para incluir los años 2020 y 2022, lo que significa que la nueva normalidad de la mortalidad reflejará las muertes por COVID diferidas, como infartos y complicaciones de otras enfermedades, que se pasan completamente por alto
