Letters to the Editor

Pandemic president To the editor: I do not understand why there has been so much criticism about Trump on his handling of this  “coronavirus” pandemic crisis. After all, he is just trying to do his job in the smartest way possible (well, as smart as any idiot can be!).

Bringing you facts as we have them

The COVID-19 crisis has affected every aspect of our society. As folks sit in their homes – hopefully obeying social distancing guidelines – they are constantly searching for information on this developing situation. Unfortunately, there is a lot of false information being shared.

Seek balance with safety, economy

The biggest question on everyone’s mind is when we will get back to what we call normal life. All the models say that social distancing must continue longer to slow the COVID-19 outbreak, but others have wondered how this will affect our long-term economic health.

Letter to the Editor

Can we make more supplies? To the editor: I am writing this letter in regard to our medical people, first responders, and anyone else that has to deal directly with the COVID-19 virus and possible a shortage of supplies to keep them safe.

Letter to the Editor

Because you cared To the editor: When I think of how you prayed in the garden all alone, as you talked to God in prayer, in great agony and love. On your brow, great drops of blood, as your heart began to melt. Lord oh how you loved us so, it was all because you cared.
