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. Her research focuses on workforce development policy\, the future of work (processes of industrial transformation)\, and inclusive economic development. \n\nAnnelies Goger \n\n\nLiz Seegert \n\n  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/older-adults-coronavirus-and-food-insecurity/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200603T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200603T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T153453Z CREATED:20231103T181350Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T153453Z UID:26720-1591146000-1591146000@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Inside Italy’s COVID War DESCRIPTION:The documentary follows filmmaker Sasha Achilli to Italy to film inside Cremona Hospital as doctors and nurses battle the outbreak during the height of the crisis. \nOn June 3\, at 4pm EST\, there will be a virtual discussion between the filmmaker and two leading medical voices from Harvard University\, Dr. Michelle Williams – The Dean of Harvard’s School of Public Health and Christine Mitchell – The Executive Director of Harvard’s Medical School Center for Bioethics.  \nThe program will feature clips from the film\, which offer an intimate look at critical COVID-19 patients and the physicians dedicated to serving them\, a conversation about medical ethics during the coronavirus pandemic\, and a discussion of the new public health considerations facing American communities. \nYou can learn more about the film and upcoming event here and sign up via Zoom here.

Existing data shows that people in these communities are more likely to contract COVID-19 and are at higher risk of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. For example\, while Black people make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population\, they account for 24 percent of COVID-19 deaths where race is known (COVID-19 Tracking Project). Disparities also exist among Latinx\, American Indian\, Alaskan Native\, and Pacific Islander populations. These disparities can be linked to a number of complex and interrelated issues\, including limited access to medical services\, socioeconomic disadvantages\, and the effects of structural inequities and discrimination. \n\n\nModerator: Laurie Zephyrin\, The Commonwealth Fund \n\n\nAdaeze Enekwechi\, IMPAQ\, LLC \n\n\nRachel Hardeman\, University of Minnesota School of Public Health \n\n\nWizdom Powell\, UConn Health\, Health Disparities Institute \n\n\nTuesday\, June 16\, noon – 1 p.m. ET \nRegister Now \nThis webinar is a project of the Alliance for Health Policy\, with support from NIHCM Foundation and The Commonwealth Fund. \n  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/covid-19-health-inequities-addressing-the-disease-burden-in-black-indigenous-poc-communities/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200617T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200617T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T153445Z CREATED:20231103T181451Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T153445Z UID:26727-1592355600-1592355600@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Understanding COVID-19 transmission as communities attempt to reopen DESCRIPTION: \nResources\n\nRecorded webcast (For a better experience\, choose the Adobe Connect app instead of your browser to view the webcast.)\nPresentation\nAHCJ Core Topic: Coronaviruses/COVID-19\nAHCJ Core Topic: Infectious diseases\nWhat’s the deal with masks?\nFlying in the age of COVID-19\nThe Risks – Know Them – Avoid Them\nIt’s not whether or not you were exposed to the virus\nIdentifying airborne transmission as the dominant route\nerinbromage.com\n\n \n\nJune 17\, noon ET\nAs we move into summer and states are lifting more restrictions on community interactions\, how should reporters be writing about transmission of SARS-CoV-19\, the virus that causes COVID-19?
