A quick thread about life in the apocalyptic wildfires. So, we couldn't smell smoke in our house, so we thought everything was fine. But family was feeling weird.... dizzy, eyes burning, throat scratchy. Fortunately our Purple Air sensor has just arrived! Plugged it in and... 1/#
Saw our INDOOR air quality was red, dangerous, 190. Even with every window shut, door closed, vents closed, towels under door openings...
We have a great BlueAir purifier, but it only cleans air in one room. If we move the purifier, the room goes from green (healthy) to orange within 15 minutes and red in an hour. So we are all four of us holed up in one bedroom with the dog, eating all our meals here...
all day, every day, until air quality gets better. We have to wear an N95 mask TO GO TO THE KITCHEN to get food. In our own house, we have to mask up. What I'm worried about is...
I'm giving 7 live talks next week online, supposedly from my "home studio" (kitchen table) that has the best Internet and is away from kids/dog. But the purifier doesn't work out there (open layout means it can't turn over the air fast enough). Anyone every keynote in an n95?
Air is supposed to "slowly improve" over the next week, but so far today it's as bad as it has been. I am LITERALLY going to keynote in an n95 mask from inside my own house or give a talk from bed with my whole family lol. #makeitwork
we ordered another air purifier but of course they are backordered because the whole west coast is suffering the same way.
