Disparities and Discrimination in the COVID Era (Part 1 of 2)

In this second episode of our COVID-19 mini-series, we begin to explore health disparities and discrimination related to the pandemic. Because there is so much to talk about on this issue, we will be examining COVID-19 health inequities across multiple episodes in the mini-series. Today we focus on ageism. Lindsey shares evidenced-based research to help explain exactly why older adults are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Rachel learns about the surprising superpower of supercentenarians. And, Rachel and Lindsey discuss ageism embedded in the news and social media, and even in vaccine trials related to COVID-19. Stay tuned for our next episode on COVID-related health disparities in racial and ethnic minorities, where we dive deeper into the intersection of chronic disease, mental health, racism, poverty, and trauma.
