In the fifth installment of NIC’s “Leadership Huddle” webinar series, held Thursday, May 21, NIC Chief Economist Beth Mace and Belmont Village Senior Living President, Mercedes Kerr discussed the impact of COVID-19 on senior living. The discussion drew over a thousand registrations. Mace’s presentation of “The NIC Bluebook: Five Ways COVID-19 Could Affect Senior Living,” gave the huddle it’s title. The presentation kicked off with Mace’s thoughts on the severity, breadth, and duration of the pandemic. Mace pointed to the “astounding” pace of the virus’ spread across the globe, growing by over 2 million new cases in the past month, to a May 19, 2020 total, provided by the John’s Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, of 4,823,479 confirmed cases globally, and 1,508,957 in the U.S. As Mace commented, “the pandemic is here, it’s widespread, and it’s affecting all of us.” While the number of newly confirmed cases each day is flattening, Mace summarized the latest data by saying, “there are still enormous numbers of people that are at risk in this pandemic, and that are being affected by it.”
