Because seeing is better than reading.
You are the kinda person that will read heavy rain and storm, but you look outside and its beautiful sunshine. Then you choose to believe what you have read instead of you eyes.lol
Right now in bristol, uk its raining. It is impossible for smog to be around when its raining.
Bristol is just an example so don't hold on to one city.
Now there maybe sporadic smog in isolated areas but that all about it.

Why make a big deal of it. Its a load of stale smog blown up off the continent. People in China have to breathe this every day.

Also note, that it makes a change from breathing radio isotopes blown over in the jetstream from the triple meltdown at Fukushima.

Is that London or Bejing./

They really need to find a solution if that is Bejing.. Whats the point in great skyscrapers if you cant see them?

That smog can be deadly for people with asthma. There are a few Salt Rooms in the London area - to get the lungs in good working order and to get a cleanse.

This is indeed the worst pollution we have seen in many years but still only one tenth of the pollution to regularly hit parts of china..

Sahara dust was so thick on my car you could scrape it off with a finger nail, gritty, its all over the windows.
Suddenly out of the blue we have a double whammy of "Sahara dust and 10 scale smog. We are in Windsor Berkshire and its been unpleasant for a few days, I have had itchy eyes and had to sleep sitting up all the time or my asthma choked me, it also feels yukky.

I don't believe we are being told the real reason for this sudden outbreak of dust and bad air.
To all the people who are demanding death evidence, it doesn't work like that, it takes a few days or even weeks to damage a body enough to kill it off. Few will die immediately, but plenty will sicken and A&E will be full soon.

Take care and stay indoors most of the time is about the only advice given.

Considering the is a fluke rare sandstorm related situation, and last week was fine, I don't think people need to worry.

Next will go back to normal.

China, on the other hand, live like this DAILY.

And that's not even sand related.

Actually London is about on par with most big chinese cities including Beijing today. Beijing =approx 175 -unhealthy to all.
London approx 160 - unhealthy to all.

Its not fine in London, you're just so used to it that you ignore it.

I've been walking around today and i kept getting wafts of different smelling fumes, like tyres, or diesel or petrol or just plain old industrial pollution smell. Trust your nose.

I've en driving around Kent and Essex today and it was indeed rather smoggy. Now clear where I am here in Essex.

If it's true about Sahara dust, isn't that the area where there has been an ebola outbreak??

Mate, I'm in Kent and I can tell you, you can fucking taste this shit, it's gross. It gathers at the back of your tongue when your outside and leaves your exposed skin feeling slimy. Fucking annoying as it's otherwise a lovely warm sunny day, perfect for getting shit done in the garden, but every time I go out to do anything that horrid taste sends me back indoors.

Not only that, but the "smog" we have now is nothing like what it was back in the day. Its chemical composition is different, meaning we don't see it as fog-like so often. But it's still there.
