LETTER: We all need to do our part to stop the coronavirus

I’ve read letters to the editor talking about an overreaction to the virus. I feel bad for all the workers and the small-business owners who are affected by this.

But social distancing and a small thing such as cleanliness will help stop this virus. We all need to adhere to these guidelines. Some people originally stated that, after eight or 10 days, we’ll look at opening up some businesses. But we’re only at the tip of this. How many people do you know who have even been tested?

If you know there’s a disease that you can defeat, why not take the appropriate steps? We’re all in this together — rich and poor, white and people of color.

Can we stop saying it won’t happen to me? My wife is 67 years old and is recovering from a stroke. I’m scared to death for her. Let’s just stay home, and we can beat this thing.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
