But this could literally kill you! [/quote]

Not today. Probably not tomorrow. [/quote]

So are you a smoker? You don't mind breathing in asbestos? You don't mind if your children die of cancer down the line? How odd. I care. I don't want my kids to get those small particulates in their lungs simply for being outside. I'd rather they have a long, healthy life than a short one with a painful death. That's just me.[/quote]

You know people usually have to smoke for 40+ years before they get the cancer. A few days of smoky air isn't going to give your kids cancer. [/quote]

Tomorrow is supposed to be Code Red. That means normal, healthy people should not spend time outside if they can help or exercise outside if they can help it. Why would they recommend that if it were fine?[/quote]

Take steps to limit your exposure. For example:

Spend more time indoors, where particle pollution levels are usually lower.
Consider moving outdoor and physical activities indoors or rescheduling them.
Choose easier outdoor activities (like walking instead of running) so you don’t breathe as hard and keep those outdoor activities short.

Nothing about staying indoors.[/quote]

NP.

Save your energy. For some people, anxiety and worry is like an oddly comforting blanket - especially when they condemn others. They're the same people who were complaining about the huffers and puffers, advocating for masks outside, and complaining about groups exercising outdoors during covid.  [/quote]

It's not panicking. Is avoiding too much bacon also panicking? Is it panicking not to want to breathe in second hand smoke? To not drink too much alcohol? Is that panicking? The answer is no. Being sensible is not the same as panicking.

You're annoying AF, PP. [/quote]

Your analogy doesn't hold. You're not living a lifetime in Code Red air quality, but merely a couple of days here and there. It appears you've lost your ability to discern sense and apply concerns about excess rationally.

Sorry not sorry if I'm annoying, but if you're annoyed, maybe reflect on what's causing you to feel that way, if you're so certain that you're right in your panic problems.
