LETTER: Review-Journal’s COVID tracking is very helpful

In his March 22 letter, Dave Pettengill reasons that because the COVID-19 survival rate is more than 98 percent, the Review-Journal’s weekly COVID charts do nothing more than scare people. He then states “young people are still walking, jogging … wearing masks. This is absurd.”

First, “survival” is not recovery. Ten to 35 percent of those who “survive” COVID-19 have continued “long-hauler” syndromes, which are debilitating. And that population includes many young people.

I encourage the paper to keep publishing COVID stories and charts. I’ve noticed people being more considerate in the past few months; perhaps the seriousness of the situation has finally sunk in because of this balanced reporting by the RJ.

THE LATEST
LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
