The dangers of COVID-19 were greater for a lot of the digitally disconnected. Elderly people were among the most likely to suffer hospitalization or death, as a result of a COVID-19 infection.
Bernadette Kubacki, Kari Walden and Tish Flemming are shown at the office of San Diego Oasis. March 22, 2022. They are all seniors who were prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic to go online.
“And the pandemic was just dragging on and on and on. And it became very difficult to do the basic daily tasks. Getting your medication refilled,” said Simona Valanciute, president of“Seniors are not so technology-oriented. They like to come in and say, ‘I would like to make an appointment.’ They love to come in and make a joke, and talk about the weather with their banker or their pharmacist,” Valanciute said.
Company president Valanciute said the restrictions of the pandemic had an immediate effect on their programs. San Diego Oasis created online versions of their classes and programs. The next steps were to get their clients computer tablets and teach them how to use them. And they were careful to get tablets that were very user friendly.
The county provided information about COVID-19 testing and vaccination online. But the pandemic required an additional effort to reach people who were not digitally connected.
