LETTER: Masks, masks everywhere …

I have been reading in the Review-Journal how coronavirus numbers are up in Nevada. We have been having meals with friends, going to the casino, buying groceries and attending church. We even went to vote at the polls. On all these occasions, we wear a mask, and we see people wearing masks, too. People are social distancing.

So how is it that the numbers keep going up? Is wearing a mask and social distancing not working? A majority of us have been following the instructions of our medical experts, but the virus continues to spread. This tells me they also do not know much about this virus.

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
