With social distancing lasting longer than many of us had hoped and with older adults disproportionately affected by the medical effects of COVID, older adults are more likely to maintain their distance from others, even while the rest of us slowly return to “normal”.

The downside of social distancing, however, is that it increases loneliness and isolation among a group of folks who are already at risk of social isolation- older adults, and more specifically older adults with chronic illness.

There is well-established research linking social isolation and loneliness to an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, a weakened immune system, depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, dementia, and even death.

Facing the Unknown While Managing My Epilepsy During the COVID-19 Crisis
Today it can be a struggle to define a reality that feels safe and predictable. Many of us are inside our houses waiting in fear and anxiety for the COVID-19 pandemic to run its course. The media floods us with death tolls and stories of doctors, nurses and other essential workers falling ill due to this surreal virus. I keep waking up stunned by the depth of the pain this time has brought us. This is not to say that all media coverage is negative, but positive events and outlooks are definitely not reported on as much as this tragedy.

5 Unhealthy Ways You May Be Coping During This Time
If you have been social distancing at home for the past few months and have been tuned into all things COVID-19, on top of the growing tension throughout the country, it’s safe to say that you’ve most likely reached your breaking point already—and you are certainly not alone. The stress of balancing a new normal while being separated from loved ones and friends for the foreseeable future will undoubtedly have you reaching for any and every way to deal—sometimes in unknowingly unhealthy ways. This stress is specifically taking its toll on African-American women, who are battling the weight of COVID-19 as well as racial injustice, all while juggling their everyday lives.

Mental Health Is More Complicated Than a Catchphrase
One of my last days of work, right before the world took shelter from COVID-19, I found myself jammed into a small staffroom for an emergency meeting. My principal addressed the staff about what the following weeks of “distance learning” would look like. At the time, my mind was foggy from a day of teaching and news updates, and I admit, her words felt distant as my attention wandered from colleague to colleague. Finally, my gaze fixed on a sticker clinging to the back of a fourth-grade teacher’s laptop: “Choose Joy.”

New Evidence Suggests COVID-19 May Actually Be a Blood Vessel Disease
What’s new: While early on COVID-19 was branded as a respiratory illness, its wide array of symptoms — from the toes to the brain — baffled experts. According to experts interviewed in an Elemental article, it’s unprecedented that a respiratory illness could migrate outside the lungs. But new research suggests COVID-19 may actually be a blood vessel disease, which would explain all of the virus’ symptoms.

How Parents of Kids With Disabilities Can Practice Self-Care During COVID-19
As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I’ve learned that self-care must be a high priority. Early on in my parenting journey, I realized if I didn’t fill my needs first, I couldn’t fill the significant needs of my son. In my book “It Takes a Village: Get Your Hands Dirty and Build Yours From the Ground Up,” the first chapter focuses on just that.

What It’s Like Starting a New Infusion During COVID-19
I won’t lie. Sometimes it’s kind of fun to freak people out or make myself sound a little B.A. by saying I live my life with a 1-and-a-half inch needle sticking out of the middle of my chest. I see your baby tattoo machine needle that lasts a few minutes or hours and raise you this. I also have radioactive fluid pulsing through my veins like a superhero! I have a device called a mediport surgically implanted right in the middle of my chest, connected to my heart, which kinda sounds like Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor. That earns me some cool points with my nephews and nieces.

How COVID-19 Is Affecting Health Care Access for Disabled People
The COVID-19 pandemic has focused attention on those on the frontlines and COVID-19 patients. However, this focus ignores those with chronic health needs and disabilities. People with these conditions are left unable to continue their care or to seek care for new exacerbations. People are avoiding the ER and dying at home. Needed surgeries are postponed leaving patients with continuing pain and disability. And for many, a fear exists of not only acquiring COVID-19, but of being denied a ventilator due to prejudicial views about the value of disabled lives.
