Join the Friends of the National Institute on Aging (FoNIA) and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) for a webinar which will explore the nexus between the COVID-19 virus and older adults.  Specifically, our three panelists will discuss:

• What does data around COVID-19 tells us about existing racial, economic and geographical health disparities
