The state's surface-level smoke is elevated but doesn't look terrible at the moment--the worst is over the western reaches.
The poor visibility might be because of the combination of high ozone and slightly elevated PM/smoke.

Apple and other companies use proprietary platforms to measure AQI, so that's typically why they don't align with government sources (AirNow or state readings).

They’re also both flooding news cycles with bait and switches. NEJM article lists pregnant people as high risk for COVID complications and then RFK recommends against its use during pregnancy. DJT wishes Biden well after the cancer diagnosis and then dunks on him over Memorial Day

I wish Nebraska DOH said whether the child had taken one or two doses of MMR vaccine. I know the info can narrow down the child’s age, but “appropriately vaccinated” leaves some room for anti-vaxxers to slip in.
