Reply to comment by InTheEndEntropyWins in Researchers looked at health outcomes for a population of more than 400,000 middle-aged and older adults, and found that both social isolation and loneliness increased the risk of hospitalization or death from heart failure by 15% to 20%. by Wagamaga

>Most of the Aboriginal health problems are caused directly because of Aboriginal people causing the issues themselves

Couldn't even wait a full paragraph before saying something racist, eh?
