Am VERY disappointed by this story. Pppl are out walking & exercising bc it's VITAL TO MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH, & esp imp in stressful times. Gyms are closed,few commutes. Instead of complaining, @drsanjaygupta shd lead an effort to promote safer outdoor movement during #covid19
"I still really get the impression people in many places aren't taking this seriously," @drsanjaygupta says on many San Francisco residents ignoring the shelter in place order to stay home. "I'm worried these numbers- they keep going up."

Yikes. Ok it is time (past time, probably) to really think about implications of #covid19 pandemic for our frail #aging adults. Everyone knows basics: social distancing, minimize travel, etc. My specific Qs: how will #hospice treat frail elders at home w #covid? #Geriatrics

What it means to be old is, indeed, changing. Hopefully for the better, as more and better options emerge to safely live independently for longer. #aging
