Loneliness can damage your health. 26.6% of UK respondents reported a high level of loneliness. "Improving emotion regulation, sleep quality & increasing social support could reduce the impact of physical distancing regulations on mental health outcomes"

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/09/200924141620.htm

"Global average life expectancy increased by 5.5 years between 2000 and 2016, the fastest increase since the 1960s" This presents opportunities to individuals, employers and policy makers to help ALL live longer, healthier lives.
