Some of our members tabled at a @purityring concert. We had a mask crafting table with charms, stickers, stamps, mask safe markers, and chains. Fans personalized their masks and left with ideas to customize the masks they wear everyday. #covid19 #maskup #community #publichealth #Houston #texas

On a black background with two hot pink concert speakers on each side of the slide with hot pink sounds waves flowing from speaker to speaker is bright green text reading: "Mask Bloc HTX." Under this text is purple blue text reading: "Tabled at a Purity Ring Concert!." Under this text is a picture of a mask crafting table with 4 members from Mask Bloc HTX. In front of the mask crafting table is the lead singer of Purity Ring posing with peace sign fingers and wearing a decorated N95. On the mask crafting table is a box with six mannequin heads, each wearing a decorated mask.

how N95 respirators are fit-tested?". Below the main title text is a picture of our virtual speaker: Texan_reverend - white guy in a navy blue hoodie with buzzed brown hair & beard wearing rectangular black glasses & a white Draeger 1950 trifold N95 adorned with a magnetic Pride flag pin. Under it is a blue, non-latex, exercise loop wrapped from below chin to crown of head, containing the beard for a proper seal." The text to the left of our speaker states "or learn about: mask chains, magnets, drinking valves, beard elastic bands, markers, children's sizing, masking in special situations."

A new CIDRAP review shows that the Avian Flu (H5N1) can be asymptomatic in people 🤯. Covid has really opened a can of worms and at the same time, has brought a lot of new and parallel research about viruses and their effects (both long and short term). #h5n1 #maskup #publichealth #viruses

Slide 1: on a black background is an old tube tv that is blue with a black static picture with the following text in neon green: “bird flu (H5N1) can hide in people.” the black static on the screen is animated.

Slide 2: on a light blue background is black text reading: “what that means for public health” with a black kn95 mask in the upper right hand corner of the slide. Under the text is an animated download symbol with black and dark blue text reading: “A new CIDRAP review shows that human infections with highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) aren’t always the severe, obvious illness we once thought they were. Researchers found several asymptomatic cases and evidence that the virus can spread from person‑to‑person in certain settings.” this text is sitting in a neon green text box, outlined in dark blue dots.

Slide 3: on the same background is black text reading: “why it matters.” Under the text is an animated download symbol and in a neon green text box, under the symbol, outlined in dark blue dots is black and dark blue text that reads: Silent transmission: If people can carry H5N1 without feeling sick, they may unknowingly pass the virus to family members, coworkers, or vulnerable patients. Surveillance gaps: Traditional fever‑based screening misses these hidden carriers, making it harder for health authorities to track outbreaks. Preparedness: Robust data collection from contacts of known cases—and routine testing of exposed individuals - are essential to gauge real‑world risk and shape vaccination or antiviral strategies. There is a white n95 respirator in the top right corner of the slide.

Slide 4: on a light blue background is black text reading: “take away for the community” with a black kn95 mask in the upper right hand corner of the slide. Under the text is an animated download symbol with black and dark blue text reading: “Get vaccinated against seasonal flu - while it doesn’t protect against H5N1, it reduces overall respiratory illness burden. Practice good hygiene (hand‑washing, masks in crowded indoor settings) especially if you work with poultry or live near farms. Stay informed: public‑health agencies will update guidance if asymptomatic spread becomes more common.” this text is sitting in a neon green text box, outlined in dark blue dots.
