Loneliness--What You Can Do in a Pandemic

Loneliness--What You Can Do in a Pandemic

How to conquer loneliness in a pandemic.

I read a study this week that was completed by Cigna Insurance—back in January—before the pandemic heated up in America.

Even back then, when life still seemed “normal,” more than 60% of Americans reported feeling “lonely, left out, poorly understood, and lacking companionship.” Sixty percent! This is more than three in five Americans. My guess is that most of the industrialized countries see similar numbers. In America, that is an increase of 13% in loneliness in just two years.
