{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"COVID in the House of Old","slug":"covidinthehouseofold","podcastDescription":"COVID-19 made Canada the ultimate grim reaper among the nations of the Global North. Why? Because 82% of our first-wave deaths were vulnerable elderly residents of long-term care facilities. \n\nAnd, yes, you do need to know more about this. \n\nReviewing the pandemic’s first 20 months, and delving into a cornucopia of eldercare issues, host Megan J. Davies talks to an eclectic cast of characters: a journalist who set out to keep a tally of the deaths and ended up a Go-Fund-Me star, a nurse in charge of infection control at Toronto’s largest public care facility, a resident who rebelled against being shut inside, a gerontologist who was born in an old age home, a sociologist who has spent a decade searching for the best in eldercare, and a public artist committed to moving grief out of the Kleenex box and into the community.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/13437473/cho_square-01.png","podcastShareLogo":null,"podcastUrl":"https://covidinthehouseofold.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":false,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/covidinthehouseofold/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-x9urv-cd0a21?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":0,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Megan Davies","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-x9urv-cd0a21-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/covid-in-the-house-of-old/id1604085069","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5877104c-0f88-4f23-b7b9-87857cdcf3e4","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://www.iheart.com/podcast/91348760/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/covid-in-the-house-of-old","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/covid-in-the-house-of-old-megan-davies-aGenjvBOPri/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
