    A few days of bulbin' won't collapse civilization but it's a matter of scale and locale. Prolonged wet bulb conditions can absolutely lead to regional abandonment. If the american south will kill an unprotected person half the days of the year, human life will become untenable there. If it's one day out of 10, then maybe people stay under worse conditions. Assuming the power stays on.
