there was a tweet i read at the start of this pandemic as carbon 19 forces us to physically distance from one another society's at risk of a social recession

a social recession is marked by an increase in loneliness and isolation it was posted in mid much by a former surgeon general of the united states dr vivek murthy and already by that point entire regions and key cities of some countries had been in lockdown for nearly 2 whole months from the start it was clear that beating this pandemic was going to require sustained physical distancing and quarantine for medics and mental health specialists around the world and nothing was clear to the lockdowns were going to reveal the extent of another hidden public health issue loneliness. social distancing physical distancing quarantine lock down so fascination more than

any other time in recent history e.g. social behavior has become part of our global reality because to separate ourselves from one another to stay for prolonged periods of time at home to not meet with friends and family it's not commute to work or even sit in a restaurant or a cafe all of that is quite antisocial it's not how humans are why and it's why even though the physical health benefits of the curvature get lockdowns have been undeniable the psychological impact has been in a skeptical to. italy's experience with corona virus was harrowing it was one of the 1st european countries to be affected and despite strict lock downs it is had more than $36000.00 coronavirus related deaths as of october this year in early march after a curve in 1000 outbreak flared up near her home and 74 year old psychologist roberta bravura and 4 colleagues set up a free mental health hotline for long body residents she began to receive calls immediately going in for.

a all star in the far north they've even received messages from this far broader stood by the united states and australia. christic he says same thing goes on to. that then me noise. when i see more. of it is only fired like. mummy then the man on the m.r.i. obvious or no there you go obviously the fabric yak a model or not begin there you dozens of. people there with a subtle now father the. journey of your nose that causes. the. man being sat up at ballylee quo misspelt the put their best to me with feeling sympathy that you know me oh do or. don't know do not call assuming we're for pale desire. who read the hour. that it.

time to lay back over the lives of them in the nose. before we're going to happen roberta can i ask how many calls that come through during this interview i looked him up to kill each of those final queeny cheek. humans have an innate psychological drive to connect with others what we're learning more more now is that that need to connect is physiological. just weeks after the world health organization declared code 19 a global pandemic researchers at the massachusetts institute of technology mit posted a preliminary report on social isolation and some of the new responses the trick is the findings pointed to one telling conclusion the need to connect is as primal force fundamental as our need to eat just 10 hours of total isolation can leave the brain feeling starved i spoke with julie ann holt looked at

a professor of psychology and neuroscience at bring in young university no we're not wired to be. she says that surge of panicle that sinking sensation in your stomach when you're physically cut off from people is a biological response that has evolved in us over millennia throughout human history to be needed. but at that protection or. resources are adapted to expect others so when the last of proximity to others particularly trusted others this in essence. will work because now we have to manage the threats in our fire and on our the latest science on loneliness shows that acute isolation has physical health professions to such an increase in heart rate and blood pressure a surgeon stress hormones and internally pull nation according to research published in the cardiovascular medical journal hot people who feel lonely are 29

percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease and 32 percent more at risk of suffering a stroke julianne has also studied how social isolation impacts mortality well we were able to find was that being well was associated with a 26. percent increase risk for death being socially isolated 29 percent and living alone 32 percent and although there was relative they weren't significantly different from each other that both being objective only isolated and that subjective feeling of. significantly predict risk for earlier death the suggests is that we need to take our relationship seriously. for the 1st time in human history greater numbers of people ages and places on living alone in the us for instance the percentage of single person households has increased from 13

percent in the 960 s. to 28 percent today in europe things are highest still with around 38 percent of dutch and nearly 42 percent of germans living alone in fact from ecuador to japan this upward trend is visible all around the world when the pendennis broke one of the catch phrases that caught instant popularity was social distancing however when i spoke with sociologist eric klinenberg he made an important point about the terminology it isn't quite accurate understood what was important about that distance he helps but i realized right away that there was a problem because social distancing is very different from physical distancing actually but we need to get through the situation certainly to rebuild afterwards. social proximity you know social solidarity we need to be looking out for each other to cure each other and making sure that we are helping people who have the greatest need eric was quick to point out to me that despite the increasing numbers

of people living solo they would automatically fall under the category of the people most likely to suffer loneliness people who live alone in ordinary times are actually quite social on average you know they're more likely to marry people to spend time with friends and. neighbors to go out into public and shared spaces the problem now is that. everyone who lives alone has forced to be socially isolated for the 1st time ever and i fear that this has generated this loneliness to 0 in as much as we're in an economic recession that we're also in recession with the lock downs limiting travel everything from simple commutes to long haul plane journeys and physical distancing restricting how close we can get to each other many people have sought out ways to deal with the social recession if you're like me and i've been fortunate enough to have access to a laptop or foreign and a good wife like connection and technology has been an undeniable benefit whatsapp

we chat face time scott zoom to talk all these apps and many more have made staying in touch with people so much easier and yet so many have still felt played by a sense of isolation and anxiety many of these 2 walls feel there isn't that a prey i've thought about the idea that this may be somewhat analogous. where they have been you know incredibly beneficial in making more accessible to many more people but also count with potential. and you know just like processed foods very blankly in the degree to which they are true so who do. they still lack that personal touch you can reach across the screen and give someone a hug yeah i think my mom and dad and his trail you would understand agree with you . i'm grateful that i can conversation with my parents who are in other states

on base time more than i can teach my students at n.y.u. and zoom you know here we are doing this interview you know through a screen but i think the majority of. them be under there are just can't wait to get back into physical life. you know to be in a restaurant or cafe or my brewery or playground or soccer field or to spend time with other human beings and as soon as it's you know say can we feel secure enough to do it it will realize just how much we depend on and should value the social infrastructure that would take for granted. this is not a single emotion it's a complex feeling that consists of many different emotional states from anger to fear to grief to insecurity and uncertainty. in january as the chinese government implemented the 1st major lockdown the world was to see this year in will one city

aren't. you know it's an on a diet should say you're not me. you know it really comes back to we are social beings we're not meant to be alone you know it's analogous to the idea of hearing that the water is not safe to drink and yet we're all so thirsty here and so we're looking for opportunities in a variety of ways and i'm and i'm actually you know well i guess of the creative ways that people are i mean to try to and can nag under these incredibly strange circumstances but there's been something else as well laughing together funny humor and it's everything that's going on we may not see it quite like that but that's a coping mechanism to well you know let life goes on and you know we need some relief it's just too much to face the pressure and anxiety all the time and i

think laughter is what keeps us saini you know it's it's huge it's redemption and so you know there are clearly moments where you can't laugh i've seen videos of people you know in the hospital find ways to make light of the situation and american workers who take time to sing to their patients or play good music to let people spirits. that. undergo a big burden on us that the budget god look at wally starts it. or throw sophia thank you for the day. at the height of the most downs in much more than 100 countries had instituted either passionately fool looked down the small than 3000000000 people in duluth physically distancing it was a radical change to how so many of us are used to living and there was significant concerns that there would be a spike in london this and all these sociate issues but

a study conducted between january and late april in the united states by researchers at. florida state university college of medicine reported some interesting early findings that spikey the loneliness that mental health specialists were bracing for it seems not to have happened of course there were people who felt a new sense of isolation there were others whose loneliness momentarily intensified but overall the fears of a raging epidemic of loneliness didn't materialize i don't actually think there's a loneliness under direct i don't like the use of no concept i mean we're living through a pandemic great you know you know we know what it means to. major crisis and i fear that. doesn't really help us get the precise tools that we need to feel better maybe part of that is is finding that thread of connection a shared experience this is a global phenomenon it's affecting people of a righty of the backgrounds and so there is this collective experience that we are

not only facing this together we're craving together but we also in order to find it we need to we need to work together great and so there is. a growing sense of solidarity around that and comfort that as we are staying home it's to her tax those in our community our fates. paid to the people who live around us you know whether it's in the next room or the next building or the next block or the next state we're deeply injured and it's really recognizing our injured and it's helps you think about how to build solidarity you know the sense that we're going to get out and. refusing it's you know seeing the way to get through this that we're going through a crisis to close a door and turn into a rugged individualist is a formula for more division it's not as. personally

everybody else as awful having an exciting life at a party isn't so. so look at this and i hope that people are able to 'd i don't take comfort in that. here's the thing about loneliness you can be surrounded by other people and still feel lonely because just being in a crowd isn't enough to create the kind of connection human phonied and it's counterintuitive as it may seem it's this very feeling of loneliness that serves as a trigger for us to find ways to make things better for ourselves if we become aware of which emotional needs are being left unfulfilled and we make the effort to reach out and talk to people. there's a lot of things that we get in life because we feel occasional interest it pushed us to go out in the world and build friendships that could cause us to get introspective to get help you know think creatively. only really dangerous when it enters balls into something more durable. you know that when that

happens you really do stress that is horrible for. a good point during the lipstick or the emergency. and not even rusty puts it i want to. make ways that simply of see who's. on the piece and i think it should be somebody the subject of those who oppose. i don't cheer there mike was that because i'm a school recess appointments so it's not really going on and you see these books and all of the values books. one thing you need to see could always go with the number where these things that seek the political elite you know money in. the mail yesterday there's was stigma around talking about well you know and so one other note that i have is that from the situation given that i think so many

people are feeling lonely. is. bill lose some of that sting by that people may be more open about talking about that and their experience so that you can better grasp it and recognize that we're not. we're told technology can help tackle the spread of cold at 19 but all tech solutions the best solutions you're starting something that seems like it's public health very quickly becomes a measure of what data is being collected. for you ali brady looks at the limits of time under potential of other creative ways to deal with the issues we face track it when tech tools go viral episode 3 of all hail the lockdown on al-jazeera.
