The U.S. surgeon general was in San Francisco Monday night addressing the impact of social isolation and loneliness amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The event was described as a town hall on community, connection and health with the U.S. surgeon general.
The key, Dr. Murthy said, is human connection, "It feels nice to be together with people in person. I miss this a lot," He described the isolation and loneliness made worse by the pandemic as a social recession and called for building a social revival. "There's a huge gap right now between the communities we used to rely on and communities we're left with. I'm hoping to find ways to bring people back together," said Logan Dirkx of San Francisco.
"How do we break that cycle? The more shame you feel, the less worthy you feel. It makes it harder to interact and engage with other people which is why loneliness is a downward spiral."
