Recorded minutes after Los Angeles County announced the "Safer at Home" mandate, Erin and Zach Harper (@talkhoops) discuss what these new measures mean for everyone, and also address loneliness in the time of social lockdown. Loneliness is a real problem that's very prevalent among all age groups - how will we fare now that our options for socializing and interaction are very limited, for our own protection? How can we stay safe and stay emotionally and mentally healthy during this time?   Topics include: an article from the Washington Post about scientific ways to combat loneliness. Is our increased news media diet contributing to stress? Why our spiritual life is super important now. How helping others does more good than you might think. What the environment is like in a doctor's office right now?    RESOURCES: Washington Post article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/17/combating-loneliness-an-age-self-quarantine/   SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES: Ghostpizzakitchen.com. 20% CODE: GHOSTGIVESBACK.
