       Was reading an article recently about lead plumbing in the Roman Empire, and it got me thinking about our own population-level cognitive decline due to Covid. Has anyone done research or modelled what happens to critical systems like health, education, transportation, etc if the workers experience, say, a 5% decline in cognitive skills? I’d be curious to know at what point these systems simply can no longer perform their core missions and break.
