  2. Burgers for scale? If your doctor says "don't eat more than 2 burgers a day for your health", this would be like sitting down to eat 667 burgers at once. If you eat a burger every 5 minutes, that'd be 55 hours of nonstop eating burgers.

  3. The worst air quality in the world? Chilliwack and Sunshine Valley AQI > 300, Hozomeen AQI reaching 3000. [1]

    For scale, 3000 ug/m3 is hundreds of times the recommended limit:

    The EPA is setting the level of the primary (health-based) annual PM2.5 standard at 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/ m3) [2]

    Awful, terrible, no-good air.

    Wear a mask! Run air purifiers! Trust your nose if you smell smoke, and your eyes when you see haze!

  4. I really enjoyed this deep-dive video essay by Lola Germs on the science of airborne disease spread. It’s educational and fun with some Bill Nye vibes. There’s extensive notes as well!

    Since you have to go to the office and (if I understand correctly) can't mask, perhaps this would help?

  7. If you’ve been following recent posts on climate and air quality, this is exactly the direction the evidence points. The NHS can’t build resilience without integrating environmental data into planning, staffing, and surge capacity. #ClimateCrisis #CleanAir #HealthSystems #Preparedness #ResiliencePlanning
