Editorial - Reflections on #COVID19nz - Older...Abstract:
COVID-19 has gripped the world in a way that many of us have never experienced in our lifetime. Who would have thought that the people of Aotearoa New Zealand would unite and support the government in successfully locking down our country and containing #COVID19nz. In the early days of the pandemic it was younger New Zealanders who contracted the virus. However, this quickly changed and it was soon realised the catastrophic effects this would have on Aotearoa’s older citizens.
