I decided to write this because, like many people at the moment, I wanted to find a way to help others through this crisis with the Corona virus. And I realized that there is a part of the population that is not always receiving a certain kind of support that would really help them. I’m 70 years old, and I'm one of them.
Let me say from the get Go Go that I am grateful beyond words for the thousands of people who are on the front lines and risking their own health to help.

Longitudinal studies help to address this very question, and today’s guest has been involved with this problem, appropriately, for years.
