SSW Research Associate Professor Nadine Finigan-Carr is quoted in the story "Even with a pandemic, many older Americans are carrying on as usual," that appears on CNN.com and TheWorldNews.net.

Nadine Finigan-Carr, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, said she's hearing all about it from friends. She has an elderly father living in Brooklyn, New York.
