ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic and its Delta, Omicron, Deltacron, and additional variants have upended reality and transformed society. Since tracking began in March 2020 through April 2022, there have been 80,476,479 COVID-19 cases and 986,123 deaths (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2022b)). From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers and health experts (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2022a,c)) named older populations and those with underlying medical conditions at increased risk for severity of COVID-19 and death but stopped short of acknowledging the racial and the ethnic disparities in those populations. According to Gawthrop at the AMP Research Lab, White people died from COVID-19 at a rate of 1319 or 313 deaths per 100,000 people and Black people died from COVID-19 at a rate of 1303 or 330 deaths per 100,000 people. [...]Section 3 centers on the social and behavioral impacts of the past 18 months by examining the mental health effects on older adults and intergenerational perspectives, evaluating the roles of racism and ageism in the ongoing pandemic response, and providing firsthand experiences of older adults.
