Letter to the editor: Our government must protect us from covid-19

There are 208,000 Americans dead and counting. Why are we allowing this to happen? Why have we become immune to our country’s men and women needlessly dying? This did not need to happen and does not need to continue.

Demand that our government protect us. Stop playing politics with our lives. We must have a national strategy to prevent another Sturgis, S.D. Following the annual motorcycle rally there in August, attended by hundreds of thousands of people, the state reported a record high number of coronavirus cases, and cases in multiple states were traced back to the rally.

We know how to fight this virus. Washington must establish the policies and give us the resources to combat this enemy.
