An Open Letter To The American Public:
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have urged the American people to protect themselves, their neighbors and their loved ones amidst the worst global health crisis in generations. After months of physical distancing and staying at home, infections and deaths began to decline.
But in the weeks since states began reopening, some of the steps that were critical to the progress we made were too quickly abandoned. And we are now watching in real-time

By Dr. Ted Wiard
Editors Note: This is part of an ongoing series of columns by grief specialist Dr. Ted Wiard, dedicated to helping educate the community about emotional healing.
For many months now, the world has found itself in challenging times and it has affected each person, family, organization and community.
There are many pandemics that have arisen from this time of upheaval: racism, sexism, law enforcement, judicial and political systems, power differentials, educational systems, physical and mental health, personal rights vs. community protection, and the list goes on and on

Letter To The Editor: Why So Many Lawbreakers In Los Alamos?
White Rock
In the last week or so I have been visiting the pond area in Los Alamos to enjoy the area while eating a takeout from our wonderful restaurants.
During that time, I have noticed that more than 70 percent of the people are not wearing masks, not counting those who are eating or drinking food.
Too many people, with too many running and screaming kids, occupy that space and do not even socially distance by the too short six feet!
In a town with so many educated people why are so many breaking or ignoring the law with little consequence to them? We, educated people, do believe in

Letter To The Editor: Just How Far Is 6 Feet, Anyway?
Bruce Warren
Los Alamos
The recent article in the Post regarding trail etiquette, (link), was timely, but could use some reinforcement.
I use the local trails most every day, and have seen a sizable increase in trail usage since the lock-down. Most of the hikers I meet on the trail try to observe social distancing. Many bicyclists and runners, not so much.
Just because you are moving faster than others does not mean you own the trail. Quite the contrary. To reiterate the trail right-of-way rules: bikers yield to everyone, hikers yield to equestrians.
Most bikers and some runners I’ve met on the trail

Letter To The Editor: Comments On Richard Skolnik’s Op-Ed Concerning COVID-19 Pandemic
Los Alamos
I agree completely with the title (Skolnik: Please Tell It Like It Is – Before It Is Much Too Late, June 30, 2020 Los Alamos Daily Post) (link), that we have not been routinely told, and updated on, the facts, as published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) – and they will change as the weeks and months go by.
I also agree with Richard’s statement later in his article: “The words and actions of leaders matter.” What I find lacking in his article are important facts – that do exist. While not a health expert, I have had time to follow the facts as they have been reported
