Hey Listeners!

Disclaimer: The use of pandemic and epidemic are not interchangeable. Dr. Vivek Murphy described this as the loneliness epidemic. A note of error on Scylla's behalf as this could be easily conflated by our listeners.

On this episode of The Common Nomad Podcast, Edward & Scylla discuss the loneliness epidemic that was introduced by Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murphy. On June 29, 2023, Dr. Vivek Murphy spoke about the plaguing mental health crisis: loneliness. It is unfortunate to hear that this has been an issue before the COVID-19 pandemic. If Americans are as lonely as Dr. Murphy claims, what does that say about the state of friendships?


As always, thank you for listening.
