Many lack the financial cushion to stock up on groceries\, or fear risking a trip to the supermarket. Online ordering is a non-starter for those who lack the technology. Those who relied on senior centers for socialization and hot\, nutritious meals have lost access during the shutdown. Local food banks are overwhelmed and under-funded; many seniors\, especially those in rural areas\, are left with few places to turn and empty pantries. Reporters will learn more about this vital issue\, what policies are in place\, how they can be improved and why seniors need more than short-term triage to address this real and growing problem. \n \n\n\nAnnelies Goger\, fellow\, Brookings Institution \n\n\nModerator: Liz Seegert\, AHCJ topic leader/aging \n\n\n\nAnnelies Goger is an economic geographer\, developing innovative policy solutions to address rising inequality and improve access to economic opportunity.

What do we now understand about how people become infected and how can we best inform the public about weighing the risks of returning to some of the normal activities of life\, such as reopening schools\, camps and restaurants\, returning to offices for work and traveling for summer vacations? In the US\, has our approach set us up for a spike in new cases?
