1. A
study in the UK found that almost 10% of elderly people go an entire week
without speaking face-to-face with someone, and the director of “Age UK” says
it’s because younger people can’t take a minute to ask, “Hello, how are you?” *** Actually, it’s because they can’t
take an hour to listen to the answer.
2. In
spite of concerns over the spread of Coronavirus, many venues are proceeding
with planned activities, but they are taking extra precautions, such as a
recent senior center event in which the chairs were placed 3 feet apart. *** Hopefully
this will clarify my earlier report that none of us seniors were worried about
the virus because we were all spaced out.
3. Walmart
announced that an employee has tested positive for Coronavirus. ***
The company’s stock is now plunging amid fears that the global disease
is being transmitted primarily by flip-flops.
4. Many voters
are reportedly concerned that the three leading presidential candidates—Trump,
Biden and Sanders—are all in their 70’s, so regardless of election results, the
next office holder will have a high risk of health issues, limited physical
endurance and diminished cognitive powers. *** However, many of us seniors prefer to look at
the bright side: In the next presidential library, with all its historic books
and documents, everything will be large-print.
5. Prince
Harry and Meghan were photographed arriving at the Endeavor Fund Awards,
walking under an umbrella in the rain, in their first public appearance after stepping
away from the royal life *** Thank goodness they had the umbrella to keep
them dry while Harry tried to remember how to open a door.
