Cell tired, oh yes. Pneumonia sucks. I’m glad the antibiotics are helping and I’m glad you’re resting (somewhat). I’ve missed you newsletter but would rather you are recovering. From memory Vivek Murthy’s 2020 book Together offered some solutions, maybe it was easier to write as a private person than as Surgeon General?

Thanks so much for the kind note, Michelle. I wonder how it differs, to write a book like Together vs. writing a report, which must have taken a committee. It's an interesting question. And it feels like the solutions to loneliness are both impossible and simple simultaneously. It's quite a puzzle!

Yes! We do what we can until our social structures get with the program.
