REPORTER: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

00:20.033 --> 00:22.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
JOINING US.
YOU HAVE LIVED ON THE WEST COAST

00:22.033 --> 00:26.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
FOR A LONG TIME.
HOW DOES THIS FIRE COMPARED TO

00:26.666 --> 00:29.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OTHERS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED AND
WHAT KINDS OF SYMPTOMS ARE FOLKS

00:31.266 --> 00:33.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
PRESENTING IN YOUR CLINICAL
PRACTICE RIGHT NOW?

00:33.000 --> 00:34.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>> IT IS BEEN A VERY BUSY FEW

00:34.533 --> 00:38.866 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
DAYS.
LOTS OF FOLKS COMING INTO THE

00:38.866 --> 00:42.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
CLINIC FEELING MORE CHEST
TIGHTNESS.

00:42.033 --> 00:44.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IN GENERAL JUST WORSE THAN THEIR
BASELINE.

00:44.466 --> 00:47.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO

00:47.866 --> 00:51.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OPTIMIZE RESPIRATORY MEDICATIONS
TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT.

00:53.133 --> 00:57.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND COUNSELING ON HOW TO BEST
KEEP THEMSELVES SAFE GIVEN THESE

00:57.466 --> 00:59.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES WE ARE
EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW.

00:59.933 --> 01:02.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
REPORTER: WHAT KIND OF HEALTH
ISSUES TEND TO CROP UP WHEN

01:02.500 --> 01:05.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE ARE FIRES LIKE THIS?
>> WE WORRY MOST ABOUT PEOPLE

01:05.333 --> 01:10.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
WITH A LUNG DISEASE.
IT CAN WORK ITS WAY DOWN INTO

01:11.866 --> 01:16.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE DEEPEST PARTS OF THE LOAN.
AND TRANSMIT THROUGH THE LONG.

01:24.866 --> 01:28.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT CAN AFFECT PEOPLE WITHOUT
PRE-EXISTING LUNG DISEASE.

01:34.933 --> 01:39.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IF PEOPLE CANNOT GET ENOUGH
OXYGEN IN THEIR BODY.

01:39.400 --> 01:44.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
EVEN IF YOU ARE A SEASONED
ATHLETE, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO

01:53.233 --> 01:57.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BE GOING OUTSIDE AND TAKING A
HIKE TO SEE IF YOU CAN SEE THE

01:57.733 --> 02:00.733 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
FIRE.
THIS IS AFFECTING EVERYONE.

02:03.933 --> 02:06.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MY ALLERGIES ARE ACTING UP AND I
HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN OUTSIDE TODAY.

02:08.366 --> 02:11.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
REPORTER: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
EFFORTS FOR HOW PEOPLE CAN

02:11.633 --> 02:14.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
PROTECT THEMSELVES?
>> FOR THE MOST PART, WE

02:14.233 --> 02:17.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ENCOURAGE YOU, IF YOU DO NOT
NEED TO GO OUTSIDE FOR SOMETHING

02:17.133 --> 02:22.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
RIGHT NOW, TRY TO STAY INDOORS.
IF YOU HAVE CENTRAL AIR

02:23.200 --> 02:26.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
CONDITIONING, USUALLY THERE IS A
FILTER.

02:32.666 --> 02:36.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A HIGH
EFFICIENCY.

02:42.000 --> 02:46.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A HEPA FILTER IN THE BEDROOM AT
NIGHT, WHERE YOU WILL SPEND MOST

02:46.000 --> 02:48.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OF YOUR TIME, COULD MAKE A BIG
DIFFERENCE.

02:49.700 --> 02:54.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO GO OUTSIDE
, YOU SHOULD BE WEARING A MOUSE.

02:59.633 --> 03:01.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT HAS PORES THAT ARE SMALL
ENOUGH.

03:05.400 --> 03:09.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ONCE YOU ARE IN YOUR CAR, MOST
OF THEM HAVE AN AIR FILTER.

03:11.133 --> 03:14.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT IS REALLY JUST IF YOU WILL BE
OUT WALKING AROUND DOING YOUR

03:14.033 --> 03:19.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
SHOPPING.
YOU NEED TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL.

03:19.033 --> 03:21.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
REPORTER: GREAT ADVICE FOR
EVERYBODY.
