Please keep your pets inside as well.

Of course, to the extent possible, but there is no way to avoid short walks for my dogs.

My dog is NOT happy. He's used to going outside in blizzards and rainstorms. But since yesterday, all he has is pee and poo walks. I wear a mask, but have a really bad sore throat. There's no way I'm walking him farther.

Of course. But they are bozos that keep the dogs outside all day or for a long period of time.

We're Maroon here! Wouldn't Indigo be the next step after Purple instead of Maroon? Who came up with these colors?

I don’t understand the map. What are the green numbers for?

They're for ozone, which is a safe levels right now. Ignore for now. Usually ozone pollution comes in July and August, with heat and humidity.

Why is the news still saying we’re at red?

I was just wondering the same thing. Chuck Bell keeps saying code red, but Arlingtonalert says code purple.

We have a pocket of really bad air heading south because of the wind. AQI may get into the hazardous range for some. Doesn't matter if you have a Code Red, Purple, Maroon, or whatever. Stay indoors.

Good news is that this will be gone by Saturday.

My beagle walked outside, peed in our driveway and turned right around like "nope" -

I see so many different numbers for my zip code. There’s no consistency.

I went for a run this morning, when it was only 160. I felt completely fine, and continue to feel normal. It's jumped up a lot though and the day is getting worse.
