Three stories in poor air quality and wildfires on the 8am CBC news.
No mention of N95s. No mention of air cleaners.
Climate change is real. But nobody wants to talk about solutions or mitigations.

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr.
NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

Free masks for all should be included in state budgets, not mask bans. Shame on New York Governor Kathy Hochul for pushing the latter, which will make us all more vulnerable to multiple health threats including airborne viruses and climate change.

Remember that a mask does more than protect against covid.
A well fitted respirator will also keep you safe from flu, measles, TB and other airborne viruses. It will keep those around you safe if you’re sick.
It’s an easy way to demonstrate community care and solidarity.

Look at how steep this curve is for Illinois. I bet it won't be long before Chicago hospitals need to start diversions and cancelling elective procedures. I hope I'm wrong. This isn't even from Christmas mixer yet.

Telehealth Will Die In 3 Weeks Without Congressional Action
Urgent action is needed to pass the Telehealth Modernization Act before it expires, ending telemedicine on Dec. 31. This would be devastating for disabled and rural patients.
