Today’s more complex economy runs on credit, and the Federal Reserve’s rate-cutting last week has broad ramifications for both borrowers and savers. It will help many, but hurt others. Alan Greenspan may be a hero on Wall Street, but he’s probably not so popular on the sidewalks of the nation’s retirement communities....

“These recommendations are difficult to make, but they are supported by the best epidemiologic data that CDC has at this stage,” Jessica Atwell, PhD, MPH, an infectious disease epidemiologist with the Center for Immunization Research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, tells Verywell. “We know that older adults are more likely to experience adverse outcomes from COVID-19 including hospitalization and death.

“CDC continues to believe, based on current science, that people are more likely to become infected the longer and closer they are to a person with COVID-19,” the agency said in a statement on Monday. “Today’s update acknowledges the existence of some published reports showing limited, uncommon circumstances where people with COVID-19 infected others who were more than 6 feet away or shortly after the COVID-19-positive person left an area....
