We are blessed at the moment. There has been some relief. For weeks I stayed inside as the air quality readings read hazardous, and dangerous. Now we are at yellow which is moderate. We can see stars at night! The sun in the day! The actual sky! It's still smokey, but I'm able to get back on the bike and do some bike rides early in the days. I've still got a chesty cough and feel headachey and lethargic, but it's improving. The day I originated this OP the air was seriously as if you fireplace had back up into your house. Only it was the entire world. I'm crossing my fingers it won't get like that again!
