Arrr, matey! It be true that since the great plague, feelings o' loneliness be lessenin', yet still, a scallywag third o' landlubbers aged 50 to 80 be feelin' like a lost ship at sea! Aye, that be what the wise folk of Medscape be sayin’!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round, fer I bring ye a tale from the landlubber realm o' the US, where a curious study hath just sailed in like a wayward ship! It seems that the stormy seas o’ loneliness and social isolation be losin' their grip on the good folk, especially since the great plague o' the pandemic passed. Arrr, but don’t be thinkin’ the seas be all calm now, for still, a hearty third o' the sea-dogs aged 50 to 80 be feelin' like they be castaway on a deserted isle!This here study, reported by the clever lads over at Medscape Medical News, be showin’ that while the ship o’ society be settlin’ down, some scallywags still be battlin’ the blues. Aye, the loneliness be like a barnacle stuck to the hull, clingy and hard to shake off! So, what be the remedy, ye ask? Me thinks a raucous shanty or a hearty feast o’ grub might just lift the spirits o' them old sea dogs! Let’s hoist the sails of camaraderie and cast off the chains o' solitude, lest we all end up talkin’ to a parrot or two! So raise a toast to friendship, me hearties, for no one should walk the plank o’ loneliness alone!
