If we had a functioning government, there would be an emergency distribution of MERV-13 filters, HEPA filters, N95+ masks up and down the West Coast weeks ago. That's the same rating/set-up for COVID, too. There will be long-term impacts on many who cannot filter out the smoke.

Chronic exposure to air pollution is among the leading contributors to many diseases and mortality around the world—cardiopulmonary diseases, strokes, cancer, etc. This is a short-term event in comparison but the exposure is strikingly high. It's a huge crisis. Where's the alarm?

Tragically, ten years from now, when we run the stats comparing people who lived in the West Coast but just happened to be elsewhere in August-September of 2020, we are likely to find strikingly better health outcomes, especially for cardiopulmonary disease. WHERE'S THE ALARM?

The Federal government is failing the whole West Coast, no doubt and this is big part of the reason. But why aren't the states themselves mobilizing on this, at whatever level they can? (Or maybe they are? I hope so). It's a genuine huge health crisis.https://twitter.com/wtk19/status/1305179402905382912 …
