How To Cure The Virus Of Indifference &Raquo; Glen Alex Headshot C 2022

Learn how you can move toward your highest and best health today: Sadly, humans have not learned from the pandemic. I’m sure you recall that the Corona virus inflicted death, destruction, and massive uncertainty around the globe. People’s lives, routines, and normal sense of security were upended.

My Experience with COVID

My Experience With Covid &Raquo; Boomertech Banner Feat

This is a Boomer to Boomer cautionary tale because we are all of a certain age: COVID is still floating around, and it is still unpredictable.  Here’s my story with lessons learned. I’ve have avoided COVID for the past three years and have kept current with the vaccinations/boosters available. A lovely family dinner did me in. We had gathered to attend a “Grands” day at my grandniece’s school, and the evening before we shared pizza and salad on a lovely late spring evening. No one was presenting any symptoms. 6 AM the next morning, we received a text that both of our hostesses from the... Continue Reading

Remote Work Didn’t Recede with Pandemic
March 23rd, 2023

The remote work necessitated by COVID may be here to stay in five English-speaking countries from Australia to the United States. That’s the conclusion from a study of 250 million online job ads – nearly half of them in this country. The number of postings in January that offered remote work for one or more days per week was three to five times larger than the remote work positions advertised on the cusp of the pandemic in 2019. Notably, their numbers increased sharply last year as COVID was retreating. The countries in the study are: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and... Continue Reading

COVID’s Toll on Minorities with Disabilities
March 21st, 2023

It’s been well documented that the COVID recession and layoffs in 2020 were particularly hard on Black, Hispanic, and Latino Americans. But if they had a disabling physical and medical condition, they felt it much more. In a new study examining the cumulative impact of having a disability combined with the disadvantages of being an older minority worker or retiree,  the racial disparities were apparent on a variety of fronts – in the inability to pay for essentials, at work, and through some difficulty obtaining medical care. Past research has shown that once the pandemic hit, people with... Continue Reading

Retired and Ready to Rumble: A Hilarious Account of a Trip to the Grand Opening of Aldi

Retired And Ready To Rumble: A Hilarious Account Of A Trip To The Grand Opening Of Aldi &Raquo; Aldi.1 768X1024 1

I recently retired and found my productivity quickly went from 110% to barely hitting 8% on a good day. In all fairness, I contracted COVID two days after packing up my desk and spent the next four in bed. The first time I had COVID in December of 2020, before I was eligible for a vaccine, my only symptom was back pain. At that time I was put through a myriad of tests—from peeing in a cup to be sure I didn’t have a UTI, to a PET scan to check for a reoccurrence of lymphoma—only to discover it wasn’t The Big C thankfully, but The Big C-O-V-I-D. This Christmas, despite being a human pin cushion... Continue Reading

Connect with a Senior During the Holidays
December 22nd, 2022

Hannah Boulton defies the stereotype of the lonely retiree longing for companionship during the holidays. But after two-plus years of a pandemic, even this dynamic former nurse who’s lived on three continents started feeling a little isolated. Ally Brooks and Hannah Boulton Then she met Ally Brooks, a high school senior, through the Sages and Seekers program at the senior center in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in September. The program, modeled on a national nonprofit’s workshop, paired up seven retirees with seven high school seniors. It was such a success – the program was Boulton’s’ idea... Continue Reading

COVID’s Small Impact on Future Mortality
December 1st, 2022

The most COVID deaths were among Americans over age 60, who accounted for 300,000 of the 500,000 U.S. deaths from the disease in its first year. A new study by the Center for Retirement Research finds, not surprisingly, that the oldest survivors of the early months of the pandemic were healthier than those who died from the virus. Taking this into account, the researchers estimated what mortality might look like in a “post-COVID” world in an analysis that was based on a big assumption – that COVID’s deaths were confined to a single year. Factoring in the early impact of the virus, the researchers... Continue Reading

The Cost of Having a Disability in COVID
November 29th, 2022

In COVID’s early months, millions of workers’ incomes dried up as the unemployment rate skyrocketed. But older Americans were somewhat shielded from the downturn. That’s because they either are over 62 and on Social Security or receive federal disability benefits every month at higher rates than young adults. And just like everybody else, they got relief checks from Congress to soften the blow from the pandemic. Yet, despite the reliability of a government check, older Americans with disabilities suffered from “acute financial insecurity,” according to a new study that seeks to understand... Continue Reading
