Congratulations to Florida's DOEA: The Florida Department of Elder Affairs' Meals of Love program allows restaurants to become emergency vendors for older adults and people with disabilities. The program is the result of a partnership with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association (FRLA). Meals of Love has delivered more than 600,000 meals and is helping to address food insecurity while supporting local restaurants and their staff. The program was recognized by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who delivered the 100,000th meal. Our page has more on the program and other innovative practices from grantees. The latest from CDC: Yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its list of people at risk of severe COVID-19 illness<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA2MjYuMjM1MzU4MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5jZGMuZ292L2Nvcm9uYXZpcnVzLzIwMTktbmNvdi9uZWVkLWV4dHJhLXByZWNhdXRpb25zL3Blb3BsZS1hdC1pbmNyZWFzZWQtcmlzay5odG1sIn0.agsZVQ42_jwQFxMrUrewRzKBE7Vc4zIVXkOBtGvcMzU/s/1191146097/br/80355091245-l> to reflect the latest available evidence. Instead of a specific age threshold, CDC now warns that among adults, risk increases steadily as you age, and it's not just those over the age of 65 who are at increased risk for severe illness. CDC also updated the list of underlying medical conditions that increase risk of severe illness and clarified the list of other conditions that might increase a person's risk of severe illness to include additions such as asthma, high blood pressure, neurologic conditions such as dementia, cerebrovascular disease such as stroke, and pregnancy.
