I worry about the future health of people. As you mention social isolation has taken its toll and some people have had long COVID that may affect the brain and leave other lingering health problems. As you point out, children have a gap in their social development from being isolated. It's worrisome.

No, I didn't coin the term social biome. I heard about it from Jeffrey Hall, a professor at the University of Kansas. I'm not sure whether he thought of the concept or not. Glad you're going to write about it though! Thanks for subscribing too. :-)
