<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">The last ice age ended just under 15,000 years ago. The world got warm and wet. Nomadic hunters settled down into villages, the population took off, people were living in Europe.</p>

<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">And then… the ice age returned, a thousand years of cold and drought, and it all changed. That’s the Younger Dryas.</p>

<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">After that, around 9,600 BC, the ice age <em>actually</em> ended this time. Warm and wet again, more or less the climate we know now. <a href="http://interconnected.org/notes/2006/02/scifi/?p=33">Here’s a graph.</a></p>

<p><hr class="h1 xh2-ns w1 xw2-ns ml4 mv4 bb bw1 b--white">
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">Stephen Mithen’s <a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674019997">After the Ice</a> is an archeological human history spanning 20,000–5,000 BC.</p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">This story describing Mesopotamia has stuck in my head since I read it. As the Younger Dryas happens, animals get scarcer and the villages disband. And:</p>
<blockquote class="bl bw1 pl2 b--light-red ml0 italic i">
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">Wealth and power had evidently been dependent on sedentary village life. This provided the elite with the opportunity to control the trade that brought seashells and other items to the villages. A return to mobile lifestyles swept away the power base and society became egalitarian once again … The shells had lost their value because there was no longer any control over their distribution – mobile hunter-gatherers were able to collect seashells for themselves and trade with whom they wished.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">No more elite! No more bosses, no more proles!</p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">This is deduced from looking at burial rituals.</p>
<hr class="h1 xh2-ns w1 xw2-ns ml4 mv4 bb bw1 b--white">
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">I can’t help but think of this during this lockdown. It’s hard not to see Covid-19 as part of the beginning of an era of pandemics – species jumpers in the wet markets, antibiotic resistent resurgences, escapees from biolabs, ancient viruses steamed out of newly-thawed permafrost, prions… god <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/48ujhq/whats_the_scariest_real_thing_on_our_earth/">let’s not even think about prions</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="bl bw1 pl2 b--light-red ml0 italic i">
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">They’re tiny, highly-infectious particles that occur when protein molecules found in the nervous system misfold. Once a single bad prion enters a healthy person or animal, it causes all of the properly-folded proteins around it to misfold as well.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">And: <q>You can boil a prion, dip it in acid, soak it in alcohol, and expose it to radiation, and the prion will still be infectious.</q></p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">In the future, we maybe won’t name our generations Boomers, Millennials, etc, we’ll name them after whatever global lockdown was responsible for the baby boom that they were born in. (And if we don’t name the upcoming round of coronavirus-lockdown-babies the <em>ca-boomers</em> I for one will be sorely disappointed.)</p>
<hr class="h1 xh2-ns w1 xw2-ns ml4 mv4 bb bw1 b--white">
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">Even if we don’t get another lockdown for 10 years, the fact it’s a <em>maybe</em> means that our behaviour will change to account for the possibility.</p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">So I wonder about the long-term effects not of lockdown itself, but the continuous <em>risk</em> of lockdown. Like, will you book a holiday for 6 months time, or will you book simply the <em>option</em> to go somewhere? Would you ever start a business that had a reliance on in-person meetings, or a supply chain that wasn’t tolerant to an unexpected 3 month stop? Of course not. How do you invest in friendships? Do you ever move far away from ageing parents if there’s a risk that planes won’t fly – or does distance no longer matter when you wouldn’t be able to meet in person anyway?</p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">And what does all of that mean? How do you act when, at any moment, the physical speed limit of the planet might drop to walking pace?</p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">I think that’s what makes me think of the Younger Dryas: environment creates power hierarchies creates culture. So when our environment changes…</p>
<hr class="h1 xh2-ns w1 xw2-ns ml4 mv4 bb bw1 b--white">
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">Like: right now I’m interacting with strangers less. My world has contracted to my neighbourhood. I’m not randomly meeting friends of friends at events.

And when I <em>am</em> meeting strangers, because it’s generally 1:1 on a video call, I’m spending more time and making a deeper connection.</p>
<p class="measure f5 f4-l lh-copy black-70">What previous power hierarchies have been disrupted? What previously valuable seashells are now available for anyone to grab? What <em>new</em> power hierarchies are being created?</p>

<p>There is an urgent need to address long-term symptoms of the coronavirus, leading public health officials said this week, warning that hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions of people worldwide might experience lingering problems that could impede their ability to work and function normally.</p>
<p>In a two-day meeting Thursday and Friday, the federal government’s first workshop dedicated to long-term Covid-19, public health officials, medical researchers and patients said the condition needed to be recognized as a syndrome, given a name and taken seriously by doctors.</p>
<p>“This is a phenomenon that is really quite real and quite extensive,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, said at the conference on Thursday.</p>
<p>While the number of people affected is still unknown, he said, if long-term symptoms afflict even a small proportion of the millions of people infected with the coronavirus, it is “going to represent a significant public health issue.”</p>
<p>Such symptoms — ranging from breathing trouble to heart issues to cognitive and psychological problems — are already plaguing an untold number of people worldwide. Even for people who were never sick enough to be hospitalized, the aftermath can be long and grueling with a complex and lasting mix of symptoms.</p>
<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently posted a list of some long-term symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, chest pain, brain fog and depression, but doctors and researchers said they still know little about the extent or cause of many of the problems, which patients will develop them or how to address them.</p>
<p>Over the last several months, coronavirus patients with lingering, debilitating health issues have been widely referred to as “Covid long-haulers.” But some survivors and experts feel that name trivializes the experience, lessening its importance as a medical syndrome which doctors and insurers should recognize, diagnose and try to treat. One of the pressing issues patients and experts are now weighing is what official medical term should be adopted to describe the collection of post-Covid symptoms.</p>
<p>“We need to dig in and do the work that needs to be done to help relieve the suffering and stop this madness,” said Dr. Michael Saag, an infectious disease expert from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who was a co-chair of a session.</p>
<p>In an inadvertent but stark illustration of the difficulty of the recovery process, two of the four patients scheduled to speak at the meeting were unable to because they had recently been hospitalized. “Those individuals had their acute illness several months ago and they’ve been suffering pretty mightily since then,” Dr. Saag said. “And the fact that they’re still struggling with this gives extra power to what we’re trying to do today.”

<p>Dr. John Brooks, the chief medical officer of the C.D.C.’s Covid response, the co-chairman with Dr. Saag of one session, said he expected long-term post-Covid symptoms would affect “on the order of tens of thousands in the United States and possibly hundreds of thousands.”</p>
<p>He added, “If you were to ask me what do we know about this post-acute phase, I really am hard pressed to tell you that we know much. This is what we’re really working on epidemiologically to understand what is it, how many people get it, how long does it last, what causes it, who does it affect, and then of course, what can we do to prevent it from happening.”</p>
<p>Presentations from Covid-19 survivors — including Dr. Peter Piot, a world-renowned infectious disease expert who helped discover the Ebola virus — made it clear that for many people, recovering from the disease is not like flipping a switch.</p>
<p>Dr. Piot, who is the director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and a special adviser on Covid-19 research to the president of the European Commission, said he contracted the coronavirus in March and was hospitalized for a week in April. The acute phase of his illness involved some, but not all, of the classic disease symptoms. For example, his oxygen saturation was very low, but he did not develop shortness of breath or a cough until after he got home from the hospital.</p>
<p>For the next month, he experienced a rapid heart rate several hours a day, he said. For nearly four months, he experienced extreme fatigue and insomnia. “What I found most frustrating personally was that I couldn’t do anything,” said Dr. Piot, who now considers himself recovered except for needing more sleep than before his infection. “I just had to wait for improvement.”</p>
<p>Chimére Smith, 38, a teacher in Baltimore who has not been able to work since becoming sick in March, said she had struggled for months to have her symptoms, which included loss of vision in one eye, taken seriously by doctors.</p>
<p>“It’s been a harrowing task and the task and the journey continues,” she said.</p>
<p>Ms. Smith, who is Black, said it was especially important to inform people in underserved communities that long-term effects are “as real and possible as dying from the virus itself.”</p>
<p>The condition, she said, “not only needs to be explored, but it needs to be explained to the same group of people who suffer with being stricken with it the most, and that’s the minority population. I am not just here today for me; I am here for us.”</p>
<p>Hannah Davis, 32, a researcher and artist in Brooklyn, described neurological and cognitive symptoms that began in late March. “I forgot my partner’s name,” she said, adding: “I would regularly pick up a hot pan, burn myself, put it down and literally do it again. I forgot how to shower. I forgot how to dress myself.”</p>
<p>Months later, some things have improved, but she still struggles to remember things, saying “I feel like I am basically on a 48-hour memory cycle.”</p>
<p>Ms. Davis is part of a long-term Covid survivor group called Body Politic and said a survey of 3,800 of its members in 56 countries has found that 85 percent report cognitive dysfunction, 81 percent had numbness and other neurological sensations, nearly half had speech and language issues and nearly three-quarters had some difficulty working at their jobs.</p>
<p>Clinics treating Covid survivors are seeing a striking number of people with brain fog and other thinking problems, as well as psychological issues, doctors participating in the workshop said.</p>
<p>“Approximately three months after their acute illness, more than half of our patients have at least a mild cognitive impairment,” said Dr. Ann Parker, who co-directs a post-Covid clinic at Johns Hopkins. “We’re also seeing substantial mental health impairments.”</p>
<p>Dr. Janet Diaz, head of clinical care for the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 response, said the agency is planning a meeting focused on long-term coronavirus effects and will soon start collecting data on post-Covid symptoms and medical visits.</p>
<p>She said that while doctors are accustomed to prolonged recovery challenges for people hospitalized for serious illnesses, the lingering symptoms in younger people and those who were not hospitalized for the coronavirus “urgently needs to be better understood and investigated.”</p>
