Humans are pack animals. We need social interaction and peer to peer presence. Keeping someone in isolation is such a nasty thing that even prisons are looking to reform solitary confinement. It’s unnatural to us as a species to be so alone for so long without our family and friends.

We’re so naturally geared toward being around one another that our bodies use one another to make sure we stay healthy. We develop immunities by sharing germs and viruses.

In short, what we’re doing now is not only killing ourselves by not allowing our bodies to do what they do naturally in order to conquer sicknesses like COVID-19, but we’re killing ourselves by keeping each other isolated from one another. We have vastly overestimated the virus that we’re hiding away from but have given almost no attention to one of the very basic needs of the human race and it’s going to have longer-lasting effects on people than the virus ever will.
