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.

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 …

Just like everyone in the vicinity when the twin towers came down.

The view out my Portland window right now. That’s not fog, it’s smoke. It’s been like this for 4 straight days now. And other parts of OR are worse.pic.twitter.com/E1K0LuttQB

An earlier piece also claimed the smoke would make victims more vulnerable to the virus.

It's been about a week's worth of cigarettes for a heavy smoker.

This is bad, but for fire prone locales this isn't really all that different from many other years when one has a fire close by. 2003, 2005, 2012, 1015, 2017 etc. Major cumulative effects. As a part time wildland firefighters I increasingly think about my long term exposure.

Interestingly enough I was talking with a USFS air quality scientist. We have about 30 years of monitoring due to clean air act. In recent years overall air quality has actually improved on an average yearly basis, however the worst days due to wildfire smoke have gotten worse.
