I'm disappointed that the study focused on over-60's. I've felt extremely lonely since the pandemic started that I've only recently been able to counteract with in-person meeting with friends. Online contact doesn't make up for a lack of real-world social contacts in my experience. I was in a severe depression for much of the pandemic and I'm 30.
- peakaboo 5y agoI'm 45 and I was out meeting friends, going to restaurants, shopping through the entire pandemic. No mask of course either. Met my friends as usual. Actually was a very nice year, because we could work remotely. No open offices was amazing.

- hdivider 5y agoAgreed, it's just not the same. I bet the effect is present for the younger folks, or even exaggerated because so much of a younger person's life depends on serendipitous interactions. We don't get those with scheduled digital calls. Hope you're better soon. Glad you can still meet with friends.
