Ang mga senior panahon sa pandemic

Naghisgot na kita niini dinhi ning atong lindog. Kining bahin sa mga mahimo sa mga senior citizen panahon sa pandemic, diin mousa na ka tuig nga gibilanggo sulod sa mga panimalay.

In my case, OK lang ko niini, after all kaayohan man kini kanatong mga senior citizen. Ato nang nahisgutan ang pipila ka mga tips unsay mahimo sa mga senior pag-alkontra sa kalaay ug kamingaw  sulod lamang sa panimalay.

Ato kining dungagan sa paghisgot. Sa America pananglitan, usa ka private organization, ginganlan og Golden Cares, giingon nga aduna silay kapin sa 1,000 nga kalihokan ug resources alang sa pag-alima sa mga senior. Senior care, matud pa.

Ato kining kutloon, gikan sa Internet: “The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing chaos worldwide and this is a hard time for so many.”

Kaayo, nakahasol ug nakahatag kini og dakong kasakit sa katawhan sa tibuok kalibotan.

“We need to hang in there - these crazy times will pass. In the meantime, we need to adjust our activitiy planning in accordance with new rules and regulations. Many of us are now in complete lockdown situations.” Hulagway kini sa tibuok kalibutan.

Unsaon nga despite sa isolation, malingaw gihapon ang mga senior citizen pinaagi sa pagbatok ug pakig-away sa kalaay ug kamingaw.

Gikan sa Internet: “Support for older people, their families and their caregivers is an essential part of the countries’ comprehensive response to the pandemic. During times of isolation and quarantine, older people need safe access to nutritious food, basic supplies, money, medicine to support isolation, their physical health, and social care.” Sa America ni, ha! So, gikinahanglan special attention ang ihatag ngadto sa mga senior citizen, kay lagi vulnerable kini sila kaayo.

Dugang pa: “Dissemination of accurate information is critical to ensuring that older people have clear messages and resources on how to stay physically and mentally healthy during the pandemic and what to do if they should fall ill.”

Dugang pa gyud: “Get creative to counteract the restrictions of COVID-19 on your social interactions.  Social distancing restrictions from COVID-19 are increasing loneliness for many older adults. Online interactions can help minimize feelings of sadness, loss and depression. Build a virtual support community to expand your social network and sense of connection to others.”

Niay mga pangutana:  “Are you missing the interactions with your church group? Is a “No Visitors” policy keeping you from someone you love? Although it may feel otherwise, you are not alone.”

Kon sa imong kahimtang karon, you feel nga nag-inusara ka, na-missed na nimo ang imong mga kauban sa kapunongan sa simbahan ug sa uban nimong mga pundok? Kon mao kini, wala ikaw mag-inusara. Daghan kitang nahimutang ning maong kahimtang.

Kon ikaw nagpanuigon na’g 65 pataas, “the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has probably changed how you interact with the people you care about. Social distancing and self-quarantine may be limiting your exposure to infection. But if you’re like millions of people nationwide, it’s also limiting your social interactions and increasing your loneliness and feelings of isolation.”
