Reminder to #MaskUpSaveLives.
More than #covid is #airborne - #measles is airborne too. Also, with #wildfires & folks with pollen allergy issues - wearing a mask helps with not getting super sick, especially if others also mask up. You're guaranteed only one life - don't fuck it up by simply refusing to #MaskUp

BBC: A rapidly growing wildfire north-west of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona has expanded more than 10 times in size in less than 24 hours, according to a government tracker.
The White Sage Fire, sparked by lightning on 9 July, has scorched roughly 19,100 acres near Jacob Lake, forcing officials to close the park's North Rim and area residents to evacuate.
