Emerging research shows that COVID-19 infection can accelerate the aging process, especially for older people with chronic conditions. But the pandemic may also be aging those who haven’t been sick, from social isolation and depression to burnout and worsening of chronic conditions.

They also discuss implications of the health care staffing crisis, including an increased burden on an “invisible workforce” of caregivers.
