We’ve probably all heard that adopting a pet is healthy, but is it really true?
In 2019, the Health Resources and Services Administration described a “loneliness epidemic” as an increasing societal health concern. And that was before the Covid-19 crisis. History has shown us that ethnic minorities suffer more from severe illness and the death rates among these populations tend to be higher as well. Cigna produced a report that said Hispanics and Black Americans are the highest risk for loneliness, so People of Color are facing two life-threatening epidemics. However, loneliness is not a problem only for minorities.
