LETTER: COVID urgency is gone, yet seniors are still dying

I was in the supermarket recently in Sun City Anthem. I was one of three people in the store in a mask. I guess the word is that COVID-19 is over. Except the data published in Sunday’s Review-Journal say the opposite.

February had the highest number of deaths in Clark County since the vaccines have been widely available. While 75 percent of the deaths were in the unvaccinated, 25 percent were in the fully vaccinated. And of the deaths in the fully vaccinated, 75 percent were in seniors 65 and older. Shouldn’t indoor settings in senior communities be advised to require masks? The data suggest it would be an excellent idea. But the politics of that would be very unpopular. Hence, it’s not going to happen. Very sad.

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.

LETTER: Jurors have an easy job in Hunter Biden case

The evidence is crystal clear, compelling and truthful — and there are self-incriminating comments made by Hunter himself. It is a slam dunk.

What are we wasting our money on? There are myriad and better places here to use the money we will save.

But, the only new pipelines needed would be from the desalination plants to the reservoirs or canals.
