Older people in the pandemic
The Briefing10 Touko 2020

Older people in the pandemic

Today we take a look at how we’re looking after our elderly loved ones and how it all went wrong at some Nursing Homes in Australia. We speak to Liz Lane whose 85 year old mother is a patient at Newmarch House in palliative care with less than a year to live, and the moment she became really scared for her mum. We also speak to Aged Cared Advocate Ian Yates about how we might solve the visiting dilemma in aged care facilities.

In today's news headlines:

  • Roll out of restrictions – Updates for VIC & NSW
  • Conspiracy theorist protesters gather in Sydney & Melb Sydney mum made international headlines after arrest
  • Economists warn Australian unemployment won’t return to pre-pandemic levels till 2024
  • American photographer Spencer Tunick seeking Aussies for online mass nude photo shoot

In today's Briefing we ask: What is happening at these places responsible for outbreaks? What makes aged care facilities so dangerous and how can we safely visit our grandparents? What can we do to protect the super vulnerable to the pandemic?
