Maybe they'll see an increase in 9/11 first responder style cancers and lung issues over the next few years.
I think almost certainly. With the scale of the fire, I think a lot of people may see that increase.
Good thing 9/11 first responder were well taken care of.
Given how this is becoming a yearly tradition, I'd expect that rise is already in progress.
So is traffic pollution, doesn't seem to bother most people? Bother as in, give no fuks. Eg in Australia it kiils an estimated 11,000 a year. I can inagibe it being less then 100k on the USA.
Thwb there is the whole mask issue during Covid, how many did not wearing a mask kill?
