People who are older or with underlying medical
conditions risk the severest consequences from the
coronavirus, but they’re also most at risk for social
isolation. Dr. Laurie Archbald-Pannone, a geriatrician
in Virginia, can explain ways seniors can avoid
catching the virus but still stay connected to others.
“As geriatricians, we promote the benefits of social
engagement to our patients; we remind them of the poor
health outcomes associated with social isolation. Now,
with COVID-19, the times have changed. But along with
the risk of coronavirus infection comes the risk of
social isolation.” She’ll explain ways to help seniors
stay connected using technology, why it’s important to
take breaks from the news, and what family and friends
can do to help those who live alone. She says, “Social
distancing does not mean social isolation, and even a
potentially deadly virus should not force us to be
alone. Now, more than ever, people need to find smart
ways to stay connected.
