Not sure what to do about my walking routine. I usually 10kms in the morning and it keeps me going throughout the day. Don't want to step outside now. Desperately need air to take the pollution to some other place now. I have headaches but cannot tell if that is from jetlag or pollution. If I go for my walk I think I will be able to taste the pollution. They say it's like smoking cigarettes. It wasnt this bad prior to wuhan virus pandemic. There would be few days of bad air but this is now different extreme and I am not sure if this will subside or stay like this in entire winter season. Real winter has not even started yet. Whatever happened to those giant air mopping machines that China was using some years back? I guess Kejriwal didn't place order for them yet. Have no faith in govt of Haryana. It's practically useless.

at AQI of 500+ you are at severe risk of getting lung disease - if you step out of the home without masks/ filtration systems etc.. this is crazy.. please do not go out for walks when things are this bad outside.

When I was in China in 2014, I could not see the sun at all during my stay due to thick smog and pollution but somehow, they were able to improve the air quality tremendously ever since- maybe "communist" regimes are better for people after all, rather than oligarchies!
