In response to this post@bicmay fundamentally most human beings are social animals and their health generally declines when isolated. This is evident in incarcerated people as well as when it happens by choice

It is interesting to think about how the U. S. government built many public spaces in the early 20th century. Then, this article points out how the car and television changed how we spend leisure time.
Many activists have talked about how important it is that we build community during this time. The more we talk to people IRL, the more we can learn and understand each other. Online interactions are not enough.
