In the face of the #COVID19 crisis, we are all vulnerable. The #coronavirus has shown that it does not discriminate - but many refugees, those forcibly displaced, stateless persons and migrants are at greater risk. bit.ly/2wUAEOD
3/4 of the 🌍’s refugees & many migrants are hosted in developing regions where health systems are already overwhelmed & under-capacitated, & live in:
-overcrowded camps
-settlements
-make-shift shelters
-reception centers
where they lack access to health services, clean 🚰 & 🚽.

Let's talk about what we can learn from family #caregivers during the #COVID19 pandemic. Can the friends and families who care for someone else teach us something about #resilience and #wellbeing? 1/11
@NA4Caregiving #health #aging
#Caregiving can have a positive impact on our lives - helping us to feel valued as part of a care team, closer to those in our care. When we #care, we can have an improved sense of #purpose & even extend our life expectancy 2/11

While the impending economic devastation from COVID-19 is obvious, there’s a side effect that may be getting overlooked: As many get laid off, Americans are about to learn how irrational & irresponsible it is for so many to be dependent on employers for health insurance. (1/9)
Most Americans whose families depend on their employers for coverage are just a layoff away from being uninsured. And right now, many businesses are shutting down or considering layoffs -- already 1 in 5 households have lost work due to COVID-19👇 (2/9) npr.org/2020/03/17/817…
Across the country we're seeing reports of layoffs in almost all industries. As we likely approach a global recession, some analysts suggest that a million or more U.S. workers will lose their jobs in April alone. Consider what this means for health care in this country. (3/9)
