Pandemia helped scientists study how isolation affects people . Previously, such studies were conducted on animals (mainly mice), but in November 2020 an article of neurobiologists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came out, which scientifically confirms the influence of loneliness on humans. It turned out that loneliness is like hunger: a person craving for communication just as hungry longs for food. The lack of social contacts worsens thinking and memory, hormonal homeostasis and even resistance to physical and mental illness . Good news: scientists now know that during isolation occurs at the level of cells and neuronal mechanisms. This knowledge should help people live longer and happier.

But Fontanka found out that the girls did not have a home address and phone number, they never bought a plane or train tickets, did not post their stories and drawings on the forums.
