As my colleague Chris Oermann describes, taking care of kids with asthma has been an “unmitigated disaster” since January 1.
Thanks to Stephanie Lovinsky-Desir, MD, MS and Christy Sadreameli for sharing what it’s been like for all of us.

Folks, it’s getting worse out there. Stay indoors if you can. Close your windows. Use an air purifier if you have one. Wear your N95 if you have to go outside. Check on children, your elderly neighbors, and family/friends with heart and lung problems.

Not great

Poor air quality in NYC today due to wild fire smoke in Canada. Keep an eye on people who might be sensitive.
