Caregiver Casualties from Covid-19

In 2019, prior to the pandemic, AARP statistics indicated that 1.6 million children between the ages of 8 and 18 were responsible for providing care to elderly relatives. I have, on numerous occasions, expressed my disappointment that so many children are being robbed of their childhood. They must go home after school to care for an elderly relative rather than participate in after-school activities or hang out with their friends.
