Seniors in affordable housing vulnerable to coronavirus
Updated June 25, 2020
Davetta Brooks, 75, who has heart failure, a fractured hip and macular degeneration, is afraid. Conditions in her low-income senior building on Chicago's Near West Side — the Congressman George W. Collins Apartments — are "deplorable," she said.
75岁的戴维塔·布鲁克斯很害怕，她患有心力衰竭、髋部骨折和黄斑变性。她说，她在芝加哥西区附近的低收入老年公寓—国会议员乔治·W·柯林斯公寓的条件“很糟糕”。
Residents are not wearing masks or gloves to guard against the coronavirus, she said: "They're touching everything on the elevator, in the laundry room. And anybody and everybody's relatives and friends are
coming in and out with no scrutiny."
居民们没有戴口罩或手套来预防冠状病毒，她说:“他们接触了电梯里、洗衣房里的所有东西。任何人，每个住户的亲戚朋友在没有仔细检查的情况下就可随意进出。”
No one is checking on residents to see if they need help, Brooks said. And no one seems to know whether residents have tested positive for Covid-19 or died, though ambulances have screeched up to the entrance several times.
布鲁克斯说，没有人检查居民是否需要帮助。尽管救护车鸣笛声响起，好几次到达公寓入口，似乎也没有人知道这些居民是否检测出新冠肺炎呈阳性或已死亡。
Nationwide, more than 1.6 million older adults live in low-income housing subsidized by the Department of Housing and Urban Development — most in apartment buildings with shared common spaces, elevators, staircases, mailrooms, hallways and laundry rooms where the coronavirus might lurk.
在全国范围内，超过160万老年人居住在住房和城市发展部资助的低收入人群住房中—其中大多数居住在公寓楼，这些公寓楼有共享空间、电梯、楼梯、收发室、走廊和洗衣房，而这些地方可能潜伏冠状病毒。
Most of these seniors have endured a life of disadvantage, have chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease, and lack financial reserves to draw upon.
这些老年人中的大多数都生活在不利的环境中，患有糖尿病和心脏病等慢性疾病，并且缺乏可用存款。
Yet in the midst of the pandemic, this population — the age group deemed most at risk of becoming critically ill and dying — has largely been overlooked.
然而，在大流行期间，这一被认为最有可能成为危重症和死亡的年龄段的人群，却在很大程度上被忽视了。
