Growing evidence reveals older adults' heightened vulnerability to severe weather emergencies. While efforts are underway across the country to confront the problem, major challenges persist. New solutions are needed, and they can’t come soon enough. https://t.co/g7O0Yx2kDT

Always grateful to the victims of these disasters for sharing their stories with me during incredibly traumatic times. A very special thank you to Etina. RIP Freeman. #longreads https://t.co/eD1oRCkGi3

Of the 45 dead from Lahaina fire who've been identified, nearly 3/4 were age 60+.

Of the roughly 150 deaths attributed to Hurricane Ian, roughly 2/3 were 65+.

In California’s Camp Fire, 71 of 84 identified fatalities were 60 or older.

Shared rooms helped fuel 163,000 Covid deaths in nursing homes. Are a million private rooms possible?

[Emily Paulin @eepaulin]

Most nursing home residents really, really want their own rooms. Is that too much to ask? For @AARP: https://t.co/vYaEItrZx4

In some states more people are voting early or by mail than in any previous midterm. My @AARP team has reported guides to every voting option in every state. https://t.co/53fM2oTTFw

[Sheri Fink @sherifink]

This in @AARP by @eepaulin suggests that strengthening backup power requirements for nursing homes after Hurricane Irma may have helped in Ian. Good that state went out to check, as there is a difference between having systems and having functional ones. https://t.co/PRcvtizpz6

After a 2017 hurricane killed nursing home residents, Florida moved to do a better job protecting them. Hurricane Ian showed those efforts may have worked. Via @eepaulin https://t.co/zXX9mVs0Vw

To say I’m excited is an understatement! @StephenCurry30 wearing my brand, @adedehye for his NBA finals walk up!

@akintundeahmad @StephenCurry30 @adedehye Yessss!!

To my friends in Dallas who are asking: I do not know whether our @ABCNetwork affiliate @wfaa cut away from my monologue tonight intentionally or inadvertently but I will find out. In the meantime, here's what you didn't get to see https://t.co/tqfHoBHMwN

Alone in New York, they were bolstered by their devotion to each other as they worked to send money back home to their son.

Their American escapade had moments of light and love.

But it would ultimately end in violence.

I was genuinely and viscerally moved by Liza Minnelli's appearance at the Oscars, as were many. For me, it had something to do with the acknowledgment of frailty in this public setting, and I wrote about this (and Joni Mitchell, too) for the @NYTmag https://t.co/od8X7YEOdj

@BGrueskin @JN_Institute Awesome news, Prof. Grueskin. Enjoy that summer sun. For when you need to refuel: https://t.co/WcGgOJe7sp

The sports clip of the year. Sound on

[Emily Paulin @eepaulin]

A fab opportunity to work with a supportive editor and smart team. Reach out if you have any questions.

[Dan Gilgoff @dangilgoff]

I’m hiring a contributing writer to do state-specific journalism on how to vote, how to get vaccinated — the building blocks of health and democracy. Reach out if you're interested.

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

I cannot stress this enough: The healthcare system cannot take any more. Don’t ask if Omicron will overwhelm it. It *is already overwhelmed.*

As one doc told me, “The level of care that we’ve come to expect in our hospitals no longer exists.” 7/

This piece is not without hope. But I want to be real here. It's BAD.
I spent the last 2 weeks listening to dozens of people relive their worst 2 years. HCWs are used to bottling things up. When they talk—when they cry—we had better listen. Fin/

Vaccine mandates are hitting nursing homes as worker shortages worsen, via @eepaulin https://t.co/drNJjDdfYP

[Emily Paulin @eepaulin]

Many are asking -- What's worse: a nursing home that's fully vaxxed yet partially staffed, or partially vaxxed yet fully staffed? But is that *really* the trade-off we're facing? https://t.co/ZouaGJGJ61
