And I can send you the link after if you don't have it.
But I think that's a really important distinction.
We think of caregivers as only being paid, but the fact is, particularly in elder care, most caregivers are not paid.
And if somebody's going downhill, absent their family or friend caregiver, that is an essential worker.
and so should be allowed in.
So that's one part of the perspective.
And we also have to acknowledge that when a person gets sick, a person who previously was their spouse or their child might become an essential caregiver in the setting of delirium, for example, even if the person didn't require care prior to becoming delirious or hospitalized.
The second thing is that most of the places that have not allowed family support for older patients have allowed family support for children.
So either we are allowing in supports to people who need them or we are not.
That is overt structural ageism.
So you say this is a vulnerable population.
It's kind of like, and we do this at all levels of society, but you abandon your kid, you go to prison, you get in trouble.
You abandon your elderly parent, nothing.
No biggie.
So we just need to impose these standards consistently.
Yeah, I think an important thing is it shouldn't be a competition.
And of course, you can be black and old simultaneously.
And that's actually not so good for you.
Because often these things are synergistic more than additive.
And you could be black and female and old.
