I grew up in Grand Forks, ND, and recently Grand Forks County was in third place in the world, or US (I don’t recall which). I no longer have any family there and most of my high school class seems to be in California and Arizona, but it is still very sad…

being isolated and distanced increases stress.;

social isolation amplifies cytokine storm and likelihood of severe COVID reaction including death

parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)  provides a counterweight to stress

Vagus Nerve governs PNS and activating/stimulating Nerve increases PNS effects

social interaction - laughing, talking, smiling, listening, and emoting switch on the Vagus nerve and PNS

Minimize your COVID risk — have the group over for a party tonight. (Maybe Thanksgiving will spread the disease, but simultaneously decrease the risk of dying from it.)
