Horrible air quality today from the wildfires. Are you avoiding activity?

| My eyes haven’t stopped watering since I walked from the parking garage to my office an hour ago. I’m not going out. My kids Aren’t so lucky - one has to walk a mile to catch a bus to work. |

| Yeah - it’s bad out. I went for a short walk this morning and felt like I was inhaling just straight up dust the whole time. |

| Yes, moving activities inside and took the dog to daycare so I don’t have to walk her. |

| It’s horrible. I won’t be going outside again until it’s time to walk the dog. Drove my kid to school and my throat was burning. |

I've been outside most of the morning.
It's really not that bad. This is the wussification of America. Everyone is always looking for a reason for things to be difficult. |

| My kids don't do outdoor activities in air quality over 150. We've lived in highly polluted countries and that's our rule. |

| I thought they said being outside health benefits outweighs air quality |

Who are "they?" No one reputable says this. |

| I walked my kid to school, about 1.5 miles roundtrip. The air smelled horrible but I don't feel any worse for the wear from the walk. I am supposed to do an outdoor bootcamp at 6:30... curious if the trainer cancels. |
