Amazing to see the contribution of those over 80 years to our society both throughout their life and even now. Don’t count out the older adult, they matter!! https://t.co/PEi5l0HWaY via @slate

Private practice doctors/dentists and their staff are left out of the vaccine rollout. They are #frontlineworkers #hcw deserving same level of care from our govt and local hospitals as those employed by hospitals. I appeal to you to retweet and contact media/local representatives

Older adults are NOT expendable!

[HollisDay @DayDHollis]

More than 40% of deaths from covid in MA are in the nursing homes. Does anyone else find this such a troubling statistic? Wouldn’t we scream if 40% of deaths were in schools? What did our elders do to deserve this? Is this what we want for ourselves for the future? I hope not.

My prior #Geriatrics Fellowship Program Director and one of the best physicians out there. Your patients and the staff at Renaissance are incredibly lucky to have you fighting this fight. Thanks for sharing @joshuy

[Joshua Uy MD @joshuy]

It didn’t feel great to be the first NH in Philly with COVID but I’m proud of the hard work and lessons learned in fighting it. Trying to save lives. Please connect. I’m happy to share and support those working in NH’s.

[Reshma Shah @drrshah]

@wassdoc Thank you for all your support and advise through this time!

#geriatrics #olderadults #COVID19 can use either of these two validated Frailty Scales when talking to your older adult patients about advanced directives and their goals of treatment especially in light of how much we know this virus disproportionately affects the elderly hard

"For people who remain at risk for coronavirus infection, now is a good time to consider prehabilitation and the types of interventions that have been proven to improve health prior to an upcoming physiologic stress" @JulieSilverMD https://t.co/dtHHGWkZ3S

Everyone but especially our vulnerable older adults who are isolated at home due to this pandemic should keep moving gently to retain muscle mass and flexibility #technology #geriatrics
