The Globe and Mail's health columnist, André Picard, says he's sick of reading reports on the pandemic's devastating toll on long-term care homes, because "they all say the same thing … and we don't really act on them." He talks to Matt Galloway about his new book Neglected No More: The Urgent Need to Improve the Lives of Canada's Elders in the Wake of a Pandemic, and why we need a philosophical change in how we treat the elderly.
