On riday, the first day of 2021, the U.S. recorded its 20 millionth confirmed coronavirus case since the beginning of the pandemic.
That's according to numbers from Johns Hopkins University, which reported 20,037,736 cases and 346,687 deaths in the U.S. at the time of publication on riday. Over 83 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed worldwide.
With COVI-19 cases still soaring across the U.S., it can be tempting to just ride the winter out on the couch, binging on Netflix. But psychologists say it's important in 2021 for us all to keep up human contact.
"Isolation and particularly quarantines and lockdowns have been associated with increases in distress, depression, anxiety," says ana Rose Garfin, a psychologist at the University of California, Irvine's Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing.
Social isolation and loneliness, Garfin notes, are also associated with health effects, including coronary heart disease, stroke and even premature death.
