It's weird watching this. In the NW near the Rockies there is a part of the summer called Fire Season. My parents house gets one week at downtown Beijing levels every other year. It barely makes the news in Seattle, let alone California. So when California has a small fire, the entire world prays for them. Now New York has it, and we're getting non stop news.
I think it still pops up as a genetic thing from certain ethnic sources. It came up a few times in the US over Covid where they were arguing "black people most affected", even though it's something that can pop up in those of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean origin.
There's also sickle cell trait, which I guess is like part of the condition from a genetic source. Supposedly affects maybe 72,000 people in the US.

It's nice to know how much people care.
Because they're already fat and that's correlated with a variety of breathing related problems.
I was going to guess that they were going to play the Sickle cell anemia victim card again, even though it's still reasonably uncommon.
Doesn’t that only apply to Africans in Africa, anyway..??
I’ve never heard that it applies to US Blacks, after how ever many generations they’ve been stateside…

“I can’t breathe”…
Dark, but… Apt, lol.
They are the irritant in urban environments.
Because they never change the batteries in their smoke alarms?
*chirp*
The smoke is going to have a terrible effect on the people they are kicking out to make room for aliens. They won't tell you that part.
“Wear your mask, bigot! We need to normalize masking again. You’re selfish if you don’t!”, etc…
