• Marty is immediately transported through a time warp and suddenly finds himself in his same home town as it was in 1955, but he arrives with no supply of plutonium for his return. As he explores his surroundings he encounters his own father, and later his mother, who are at that time Marty’s same age and have no idea of his identity. Realizing that he has to make sure they meet and fall in love or he will cease to exist, he looks for ways to make sure this happens. He also desperately searches for a way to communicate with Doc Brown to warn him of the terrorists who will be gunning for him ahead in the future.

What Older Diabetics Should Know About Coronavirus DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: My husband and I are both in our senior years and we both have diabetes. We would like to find out if this condition effects our imune system and possibly increases our risk of getting the coronavirus. --Concerned Diabetics Dear Concerned: Currently there’s not enough data to show that people with diabetes are more likely to get coronavirus (COVID-19) than the general population. But the problem for diabetics is that should you do happen to contract the virus, your chance of developing serious complications are much higher. This is especially true if your diabetes isn’t wellcontrolled. Here’s what you should know. Diabetic Risks Health data is showing that about 25 percent of people who go to the hospital with severe COVID-19 infections have diabetes. One reason is that high blood sugar weakens the immune system and makes it less able to fight off infections. Your risk of severe coronavirus infection is even higher if you also have another condition, for example heart or lung disease. If you do get COVID-19, the infection could also put you at greater risk for diabetes complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which occurs when high levels of acids called ketones build up in your blood.

The CDC also recommends that you stock up on medications and diabetes testing supplies to last for at least a month. The same goes for grocery supplies and other household necessities. Also be aware that Medicare is now covering the cost of telehealth visits, so if you have questions for your doctor, you can ask by video chat or phone rather than having to visit the office or cliinic. If You Get Sick The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are a dry cough, fever, or shortness of breath. If you develop any symptoms that are concerning, call your doctor about getting tested. If you find that you have contracted COVID-19, the first level of care is to stay home and check your blood sugar more often than usual and check your ketones as well. COVID-19 can reduce your appetite and cause you to eat less, which could affect those levels. You also need more fluids than usual when you’re sick, so keep water close by, and drink it often. You should also know that many over-the-counter medicines that relieve virus symptoms like fever or cough can affect your blood sugar levels one way or the other. So, before you start taking any OTC medications check with your doctor.

Q: What is the maximum Social Secu-

rity benefit?

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Let’s Play 20 Questions I’m going to assume you’ve all heard of the kids’ game “20 Questions.” Well, I’m going to do my own version of that today. I’m going to try to squeeze 20 questions into this column. To do that, my answers must be short and sweet.

The listed maximum benefit is $3,011. But that is for someone turning 66 this year who always had very high earnings. But many people work until age 70 or even well beyond that age, and their benefit can continue to increase each year with no maximum limit on how much they can get.

I went to www.socialsecurity.com, and I couldn’t figure out how to file for benefits. What did I do wrong?

The Social Security Administration website is www.socialsecurity.gov (not .com).

and was told there would be a two-hour wait. I can’t wait that long. What can I do?

A: No. Social Security is not welfare. You could sell a million dollars’ worth of property, and you will continue to get your widows benefits.

Q: My husband had $175,000 in gambling winnings last year, and now our Social Security check went down. Why?

Can I take my husband’s benefits at 62 and then at 66, switch to my own Social Security?

first.

During this coronavirus crisis, there is not much else you can do. Widows claims can’t be done online, so call again. And remember: Patience is a virtue!

You are due half of his age-66 rate, not his age-70 rate. I’m guessing his age-66 rate was about $2,100. Half of that is $1,050. So, your own benefit is higher.

Q: I am about to turn 62. I recently retired because I had a heart attack. Should I apply for Social Security retirement or disability?

You should apply for both. They will pay your retirement checks right away. If your disability claim is approved, they will switch you to higher disability benefits.

Q: I want benefits to start when I am 66. I turn 66 on June 5. I know Social Security checks are one month behind. So, do I tell them I want benefits to begin in July? A:

No. You tell them you want your benefits to begin in June -- and the June check will be sent to you in July.
