Plays radio network, and now chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

Warning, warning, warning, unloanliness.

The Surgeon General, the U.S. Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, declared loneliness of public

health epidemic.

He said half of U.S. adults experience loneliness, and that can be as dangerous as smoking

up to 15 cigarettes a day.

Hmm, research over the years has also found isolation can lead to sleep issues, depression,

anxiety, heart disease, stroke, and dementia.

The pandemic only exasperated these problems.

Now, in an 82-page advisory, which I have not figured through yet, Murthy outlined

a framework to repair social connection.

It recommends boosting social infrastructures with volunteer organizations, public transportation

and green spaces.

It also encourages the government to track and stop harmful policies.

How about harmful products and harmful services?

Yeah, those further isolate people.

So I'm not sure how they're going to pay for that, but this comes during mental health

awareness month, so happy mental health awareness month, and remember to get out there

and stop being lonely, because if you're lonely, it's the same as smoking 15 cigarettes

a day.

I find that hard to believe, but you know what, he's the U.S. Surgeon General, so who am I?

Welcome!
