Daily Mail,  UK -   People who get sick with Covid are at a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes years after clearing the infection, a major study suggests. Using data from over 200,000 people from the United Kingdom with an average age of 70 who caught Covid in 2020, researchers found the more sick someone was, the more likely they were to develop heart problems. Overall, being infected with Covid doubled someone's risk of a heart attack or stroke at least three years after the initial infection.

Roll Call - Kamala Harris proposed a new campaign policy Tuesday to help seniors “age in place,” a popular concept allowing older Americans to receive care at home through Medicare. The vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, speaking on ABC talk show “The View,” said the proposal would allow families to keep their loved ones at home, rather than in nursing facilities, and avoid the associated costs of in-facility care. The proposal would cover home health aides, among other services, and provide relief to family members who juggle their careers and caregiving responsibilities.
