New Old Age column in NYT about family caregivers and COVID

This latest column came out about a week ago but I just saw it:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/health/coronavirus-home-caregivers-elderly.html
Includes links to and discussion about studies demonstrating the negative impacts of being a caregiver, especially a long-term one to a person with cognitive and behavioral issues. The comments are interesting, too.
Not a lot here that AC readers don't already know all too well but I always find it interesting to see our issues written up for the general public.

Yes, not news to us. I wish it was in USA Today, which has more than twice the circulation of the NYT and is read by more of the general public.

Sorry about that, Cwillie. They give people a few free articles per month but it easy to reach the limit fast.
