Hi all,
I thought you might be interested in this Mayo Q&A podcast. Dr. Brandon Verdoorn, a Mayo Clinic geriatrician, explains how staff are taking steps to keep residents safe and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

@colleenyoung This can be harder on those of us outside the residential facility than for those inside. My mother, age 96, has been quarantined to her apartment because of a possible contamination. Luckily, because of her age, she likes to be alone. She keeps in touch with all of us via phone and Facebook. Says she’s doing well!

Hello, Colleen
All bookings for our senior choir to retirement facilities have been cancelled.
The town Senior Center is closed.

The university where my husband teaches now has classes on line! I walked into his home office and wondered who(m) he was talking to... He Skyped with the other professors and students.
Other than that we are 🏡

My P.A.daughter works in a hospital. I talked to her today and she said not to worry. She takes every precaution. Argh!

My son’s children have no school in CA: schools closed this week.

We Americans can adapt! The hand sanitizers are popular and any cleaning solutions are off the shelf.
I bought some before I knew we needed them?! People are donating cleaning supplies to the police , ambulance drivers, senior centers, nursing homes. We are a generous country. I found one! mask in our first-aid box which I will wear if a neighbor needs help.

I am on the treadmill and when the rain stops!! I will walk outside!! Carry on?!!!

PLEASE STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK
(Many stores will deliver)
