COVID-19 has dominated the conversation this year. Following the fi rst outbreaks in December 2019, it became clear that older adults were predisposed to greater disease severity and death. What occurred in nursing homes across Europe and the Americas was brutal-as much for the older adults themselves as for their families. Many didn't even get to say goodbye.
