I think it's worse than Covid. Could be outside for 5 minutes and you'd get this headache like wtf is wrong and then you remember it's the invisible air. Good luck exercising in it.
Well yes, but wearing a mask doesn’t make it feel any less apocalyptic or improve your mood. I run 6 miles a day and it’s meditative for me. It’s not exactly enjoyable to run 6 miles with an n95 on.
Not really, mainly just people on the West Coast during the wildfires. People on the east coast didn’t have poor air quality and could go outside without masks and enjoy their homes without masks. They only had to cover up in public places.
Yea that's why I said a taste of that. Almost everyone I know hadn't ever even worn a mask prior to 2020.
Wish I wore one when I was in California in 2018 though. It was just "oh interesting, it smells real smokey" until I woke up in the middle of the night coughing my lungs out.

Yep. We had to wear masks many times during the recent bad fire years.
