A study published in the Nature science journal found that heavy wildfire smoke could be linked to an increase in COVID-19 cases.

Researchers looked at Washoe County in northern Nevada, which saw a simultaneous increase in COVID-19 cases while also being exposed to wildfire smoke last year.

“We had a unique situation here in Reno last year where we were exposed to wildfire smoke more often than many other areas, including the Bay Area,” Gai Elhanan, co-lead author of the study, told the Reno Gazette Journal.

All you have to do is put the word “science” in your article, and it’s an authoritative document.

It’s a nightmare that won’t end. The absurdity and insanity makes me think society is regressing rapidly.

You shoulda seen it yesterday! Not too bad today. And the smoke last year was during the lock downs (IIRC) and a lot of folks stayed in because of the smoke anyway. So, I call 🐂💩

Or, maybe hospitals were just reporting smoke inhalation cases as “COVID” to pump their numbers up...

Risk of repertory issues in general? Of course.

Covid specifically from an infection point of view? I have no idea how you can spin that.

So wild fires now create COVID? I thought only global warming/climate change did.

Wildfire Smoke?

How about cigs, cigars, pot, vape, meth and crack, etc?

Maybe some of those obese comorbidities are caused by some of the above, or part of that livestyle.

It makes sense. The smoke causes irritation in the airways which makes them more vulnerable to infections of all kinds.

“Researchers” AKA unnamed sources.

These are the same people that see racism behind every blade of grass...in White neighborhoods only of course.
