     @JamesGleick I'm so sorry you're in it.

     There's—rightly—a lot of attention to trying to physically protect people from the smoke, but there's a very strong psychological effect as well that seems…much less attended to, especially when it lasts for more than a few days. The primal danger signals inherent in light like that + the climate doom feelings is just a lot.
