The Millennial Guide to Maintaining Your Health

April 1, 2020

Prolonged elevations of certain hormones have been correlated with suppressed immune system function, hyperglycemia, even heart damage—and chronic stressors such as job insecurity, financial woes, and, now, COVID-19 and the repercussions of a global pandemic, can create the same hormonal response.
“Millennials are uniquely exposed to precarious conditions,” says Adam Lippert, a professor of sociology at the University of Colorado Denver. “Their stress response systems are constantly in overdrive in ways previous generations may not have been.”

Denver RTD moves May service changes up to April as it deals with financial stress surrounding novel coronavirus pandemic

March 25, 2020

Like other transit service providers, the financial impact will be severe for Denver RTD. While a small portion of the agency’s budget comes from fares, a larger portion comes from sales and use tax, which are expected to be down significantly with the shuttering of restaurants, bars, retail outlets and ticketed events.
“The issues, though, are far from unique to RTD and municipal transit,” said Todd L. Ely, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs.

Applications for unemployment have soared, and many workers and business owners are worried

March 25, 2020

Wayne Cascio with the University of Colorado Denver predicts as many as five million people could lose their jobs because of the pandemic—more, he says, than after 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis combined. And yet, he points out, the previously tight labor market could work to some workers' advantage.
"Companies are really scared about losing hard-to-find skillsets," Cascio says. "If they lay these people off, they may not be able to rehire them about the economy rebounds."

As Denver’s stay-at-home order goes into place, breweries get a reprieve

March 25, 2020

Wayne Cascio, a professor of management at the University of Colorado Denver, said that small and locally owned retail businesses particularly could have a tough time surviving any extended shut-down period if they can’t bring in revenues to pay workers or rent or buy supplies.
“If they can stay in business, they’ll probably weather the storm. But if they have to shut down and restart, I think at least a percentage of them can’t go on,” he said. “If they can’t get loans and they are undercapitalized, there’s no way further to continue the business.”

From airlines to hotels, layoff notices starting to pour in from across Colorado

March 25, 2020

Wayne Cascio, a distinguished professor of management at the University of Colorado Denver, has studied the ability of companies to bounce back after an economic downturn. He said those who keep critical staff on board recover faster and perform much better going forward than those who cut to the bone.
"Given the choice of letting go of assets, like cash, or letting go of workers, don’t make a knee-jerk reaction," Cascio advised.

Safely sharing the road with cyclists

March 26, 2020

Aiming to better understand bicycling safety, researchers at the University of Colorado Denver and the University of New Mexico found in 2019 that cities with protected and separated bike lanes (lanes with some type of buffer) had 44% fewer deaths and 50% fewer serious injuries than the average city.
However, although protected and separated lanes are critical to improving safety, the study also found that painted bike lanes provide no improvement to road safety and if protected, separated lanes are not possible — it is actually safer for bicyclists if there are no bicycle road markings at all.

Domestic violence nonprofits prepare for increased abuse

March 26, 2020

Domestic violence and child abuse organizations are preparing for an increased need for services to keep people safe in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and stay-at-home orders.
“Most domestic violence happens in the home, proven through research; it doesn’t happen outside of the home,” says Barbara Paradiso, director at the Center on Domestic Violence at the University of Colorado Denver. “So when we say to people you have to stay at home with the person that is your abuser, then the risk increases exponentially.”
