Although millions of Americans are impacted by COVID-19, the virus has proven to strike senior citizens harder than most demographic groups. Not only are the elderly more at risk of dying from the disease they are sometimes food insecure and often isolated. In today’s edition of Corona Chronicles, reporter Abby Druckenmiller takes us to the Meals on Wheels program in Greenville, South Carolina to find out how they’re trying to provide food and togetherness, during a time we’re being told to stay apart.
