We Asked a Registered Nurse How to Keep Healthy & Calm During a Pandemic

Sheryl Buchholtz-Rosenfield is a board-certified registered nurse in geriatrics and has worked in the post-acute care industry for over 30 years. She even served as a first responder volunteer in triage for September 11th. In other words? She's pretty uniquely qualified to answer all of our COVID-19 questions.

Since most of us are probably pretty familiar with the basics (such as social distancing, washing your hands for 20 seconds at a time, et al), we focused on more specific lines of questioning, such as "How do you care for yourself at home if/when you get sick?" and "What can we do for the older relatives that we're all super worried about?" Read on to see Buchholtz-Rosenfield's very helpful insights and tips.
