“This is the largest animal disease outbreak we’ve ever had.”
#H5N1, which emerged nearly three decades ago, is now creating upheaval in the poultry and dairy industries and making economic and political waves due to the fluctuating price of eggs. But there’s more at risk here than grocery-store sticker shock.
Here's everything you need to know about bird flu: https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/health-disease/2025/scientific-facts-about-h5n1-bird-flu

Mexiko-Stadt – In Mexiko ist ein erster Fall von Vogelgrippe beim Menschen registriert worden. Das drei Jahre alte Mädchen sei in Torreón im nördlichen Bundesstaat Coahuila ins Krankenhaus gebracht worden, ihr Gesundheitszustand sei „ernst“, erklärte das Gesundheitsministerium Ende vergangener Wiche.
Nachdem kürzlich ein Kind in Andhra Pradesh an #H5N1 gestorben ist & eine Reihe von Vogelgrippeausbrüchen in mehreren Bundesstaaten gemeldet wurde, ist die Vogelgrippekrise in #Indien in eine besorgniserregende neue Phase getreten.
Das #Virus das bisher auf Geflügel beschränkt war, infiziert nun Tierarten, die kein Geflügel sind - darunter Tiger, Leoparden, Dschungelkatzen und sogar Hauskatzen - und deutet auf eine alarmierende artenübergreifende Übertragung hin.
Pasteurization, and even exposure to lower (but elevated) temperatures completely inactivates the bird flu virus in raw milk.

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.

“Holy cow. This is how pandemics start.”
Bird flu is sweeping the nation -- well, causing a lot of upheaval and worry, at least. In this extensive explainer, Amber Dance reports all things #H5N1
One takeaway: Do not consume raw milk or undercooked poultry.
