It’s not scaring it’s being realistic. Of course Hashem is in charge. You’re still allowed to believe and repeat what the meteorologists tell us. Realsilver do you have a source? Where do you take this from?

The numbers are going up. Hopefully it doesn’t get as bad as it was last week.

I have a young child with asthma (Pulmonary issues), and a newborn baby. I was thinking of going with my kids to my sons friend's carnival this afternoon. Should I be concerned and hold back from going?

Why is it comforting that hashem will decide this? Isn't it a fact that often times hashem has allowed terrible tragedy to befall frum jews?

I just don't see your point about hashem.

AQI back up in the 70s in the NYC area. Anyone know if this is normal pollution? I never checked it before last week.

Nyc I heard normally worst # is maximum 50, on bad days. I'm inclined to start believing the conspiracy theorists at this point. It's nasty and disgusting the air, and smoke rises. Its just so gross. If they are right again they need to be renamed conspiracy unearthers.

Is there any way to sort of “clear up my lungs”? Any bath or drink?

Of course! I think people are reacting to the way this is phrased.. it almost feels like ur saying it in a compulsive way?

A hot shower with a lot of steam might help.

Steam, a boiling cup of water put a towel over your head and hold the cup under your nose.

I just don't understand why bring up hashem. Maybe hashem is bringing this as a plague to kill us. Or maybe not. Imagine if before the holocaust the jews said, don't worry because hashem is in charge.

Sorry, I'm a logical thinker. Not trying to start anything.
