I know the crisis is far from over yet, but has anyone been running some mortality/morbidity numbers from the off-the-charts AQI the West Coast has been enduring, some places for weeks now? Air pollution has a huge toll on health, and this is now a tragically sustained event.

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 …

They spent all the alarmism on COVID. They ran out of alarms.

I don’t get what we are to do. Feeling trapped as it’s not like we can easily leave.

I used to work on air pollution policy for the Singapore government and once you learn about the long-term impact of PM2.5 it just boggles the mind

Yeah. We have a shortish but peak event here, and it's been repeating for a few years.

All part of Climate Change. Yes alarming but I guess we are distracted right now.

Too many alarms. Alarm fatigue perhaps. We’re all just pushing toward November 3.

Yep. It's like, should we go out fight in the smoke for a chance to not have this again in the future? Is the sacrifice worth it? That's an individual choice
